Here in central Iowa, I believe they are dropping like crazy. Last weekend I took my daughter back to college and saw at least a couple hundred deer in the fields along the interstate and didn't see a single set of antlers. I'll be off hiking the woods probably next weekend when my wife and son are gone for the weekend and I'll have some time to myself.

Me and my dad are going to go in about a month to canada. we have started now but there is to much snow in most places.. most deer have droped them but we need to louse 4-6 inches of snow. then it will be good...

We usually only hunt for elk sheds and it is to early for them yet by about a month .

Were you guys inside a fence? I can walk miles per day on public and private land on a weekend and am lucky to find one or two.

I found a nice set three weeks ago while checking my trail cam. It was luck that I found them really I had some extra time so I decided to walk a draw and make sure my treestand was still there. I also went out two weeks ago actually looking for them and found 0. I'm still seeing bucks with antlers around, but I think a lot of them surely dropped by now.

We are still seeing bucks that still have horns and some that have already shed. We usually wait until next month or during spring turkey season to hunt for sheds.
