Yeah, i'm from wisconsin here, i've heard many guys this year say they're still seeing them with horns yet. Different weather pattern possibly is making them hold longer?

Just saw a small racked 8pt today on way to work hit and on side of road not too far from my job. Wasn't there yesterday. Coyotes hadn't got to it yet. First racked buck I have seen around here this late in some time.

I have heard that the hold their antlers longer when they are pumping the testosterone from the rut and "2nd" rut later into the winter. Maybe there was a late breading season or second go around in your area causing them to stay pumped up longer?
