Default Bucks have began antler growth

I was down at our place in iowa tonight driving around and taking some seed down for food plots, saw 3 bachelor groups of bucks, they're starting to grow their antlers. still havent gotten their summer coats in yet. found a carcass, probably 1.5 or 2.5 year old buck, antlers had been shed, so it was a few months ago. pretty well eaten away.

I got scouting camera pictures of bucks with everything from nubs to one whose antlers were about 5-6 inches long and starting to fork in early May. I also saw my first fawn yesterday. I'm in northern West Virginia.
