Bucks with antlers
 

Video was taken with a Moultrie D55-IR trail camera near Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada on 12th. Mar. 2012.

Seems unusual but before trailcams we really didn't know when they all shed.

had a local rancher tell me this week he had seen 9 bucks with racks in tack. that is really late from what i would expect as i did have pictures on the 3rd & 4th of january of 2 different deer that had shed one side.

Up here it can be a rare occurance that from time to time a buck will keep it's rack from the previous year. The rack will not grow anymore and will be colorless during the fall. Unlike other bucks the rack would look almost as if it was soaked in a mild bleach when hunting season comes around. Back around 1985 I shot a deer with a pale rack that had most of it's tines broke and the main beam had a crack running from just above the base to almost the very tip. While no one can say for sure it is believed that the old buck that carried it had kept that one all year long..
