Default When do your bucks drop their horns?

I'm sure most of you like to shed hunt during the off season. Our bucks don't start dropping antlers until around the end of March. How about yours?

Most of ours havent dropped yet, I do have pics of one nice 9 pointer that has lost his, but all the other daily locals are still carrying theirs, this is just an observation on about 6 or 7 bucks that I get pictures of every day. I think it usually happens the end of febuary or the first of march.

Here in Mn, they are starting to drop them now. I got a picture on my game cam last week of a little 6 point that had lost one side.

In Ky, its usually toward the end of Feb, but I saw a small eight pointer today that had already lost one side.

Picked up a matching set from a small 8 point on Feb 8th... and also just a few minutes later found one side of a monster 8 point.

Here in Md. I start finding them the first of jan. This year my first fresh shed was found jan 6th. and I found 4 fresh sheds total for that day.
I've shot a couple in rifle season late Nov. the first week of Dec. that either dropped or fell off while dragging deer out.
