RE: I was a little suprised!
 

we saw a lot of deer on the weekend, about 45, but no antlers were seen. They must have just started dropping them, because last week I saw 3 bucks with antlers.

It's probably still a little early yet. However, some bucks keep their racks for years. I don't know if these deer keep the same rack their whole life, but I know that it's not unheard of for a buck to not shed a year or two.

Backstraps that is news to me. The only bucks that I have ever heard of not shedding their antlers each year are those few that have no testicles, is that what you are refering to?
