I think the late second rut where I hunt really has them holding on longer. I don't mind since it will be another week before I can get out and do some shed hunting. I've heard of some guys having some good luck in Southern Illinois right now but personally I think there are still a really good amount holding.

Really nice buck. Jealous of you if that is property you will be hunting next year. He should be bigger.

Left Vermont Wed afternoon and headed to our Illinois farm for some shed hunting. Picked up a bunch, but also saw 5 bucks with both sides and two with singles. Two of the bucks were big, one easily in the 150's.

it isnt because of the rut it is because of the weather.
when deer have a hard time getting food they will lose their antlers earlier. we have had an exteremly mild winter. so they are holding longer..

it is not just a midwest thing. i have friends in canada and they are still holding there as well as out west. it is happening all over
