Sunday i went to our land to plant some food plots and while i was driving in the fields on the four-wheeler, i noticed that one of the deer in the herd still had both antlers on. it seemed to be a decent 8 pointer. I thought that was pretty strange.

Definetly strange for this time of year. To bad you couldn't get any pictures.

I didnt intend on seeing anything so i didnt bring my camera. Do you think there is something wrong with deer??

I've read that some keep them on until the new ones start growing.Cool

I saw a nice 8 pt about 10 years ago still carry his head set at the end of April. Maybe some deer need the help of new antler growth to push the antlers off, kind of like a kid loosing his first toothe. Who knows, just my 2 cents.

It is strange, but oddly I have heard the same type of story here in Montana. A fellow I work with has been seeing a nice 8-pointer around his place and waiting for it to drop sheds. As of May 7th the buck was still carrying its rack.
