I keep hearing of bucks sheding already. I don't know about around here though I always thought it was more like march.

I found one in late January last year in Southeast Ohio...

Typically I have found them in early to middle of February... After mid-to late March I can never find them and if I do they are gnawed down to a nub.

in NE IA 75% have shed thier antlers by now with the heavy snow. I have been out most of the last three weeks (late muzzy) and have seen lots of bug bucks.....w/o the antlers. Usually deer loose them end of Jan. but stress makes them drop earlier.

I already founf one in north east ohio, big heavy antler with five points and a six inch brow tine. thirty yards from one of my stands..... never saw him during bow season tho....

thanks for the info

mossberghunter93 one time a found 2 nontypical sheds right near eachother on january 23 of last year you could maybe find some sheds too in january. look where the deer are but start looking bow becasue rats get to them

I found the right side of an 8 pointer i guess saturday. it was 4 points. didn't find the other though. i heard they both drop pretty close to each other but a buddy in my club saw a buck the 31st of december with just one side of his rack so im thinkin i found the other side haha. What makes them drop? and any tips on how to find them?

im gonna start lookin in a couple weeks
