I want to look for shed antlers this year (Missouri). The bucks still have them on right now. I see deer most every day at the county park on the way to work.
When do the deer shed antlers in your area?

Shed Anlter Hunt - Ready yet?
This question is a catch 22.
1. Depends on the animals health
2. Depends on the pressure in the animals home area.
3. Depends on the weather, and moon phases.
4. The age of the animal plays a big role, in the loss of his head gear.
Now with that said, I have seen some of our bucks, if not most of them have already dropped their head gear. But I am seeing a few that sport trophy head gear still sporting them. If you look at the above it all depends on the animals mostly, but I did see a spike yesterday still sporting his, but his age I guessed at 4 yrs do to his sway back, the size of his body damn point restriction keeps us from culling this poison from the herd.
