Are you just trying to get some exercise to get in shape for the upcoming shed season?

If I had bucks dropping antlers before mid-February, I would be worried.

I almost always find a few, but most hold onto them into March. I'm also looking for deadheads and seeing if any travel patterns changed. It's just a good time to be in the woods, checking things out before green-up while not worrying about bumping deer.

Came home at lunch today- 2 buck in field- both with 1 side gone

Agreed. Not uncommon for a very dominant buck that was heavily involved in the rut to be so stressed he drops antlers early. But what would freak me out is if a bunch of bucks are dropping early. Like last year. The drought in my area was so severe that most bucks had dropped antlers by January 15. I've never seen anything like it in my area. I was seeing bucks without antlers right after Christmas.

I start seeing afew early bucks, right after Christmas. Then around the first of feb, i have half racks and sheds showing up on cam. Our deer density is absurdly high, no doubt.

This guy just dropped his today.

Checked cards last week and had one buck with bare spots that looked really fresh.

A few from a six mile trek. Set is fresh but burned over a couple days ago.

I don't have a pic but was walking down the road and saw one caught up in a bobwire fence and grabbed it.

 

[RedDawg]

They seem to be holding in my area

All the bucks I saw on camera last week in Wilson County still had their head gear.

Please put your general location so we can see if there is a pattern. Thank you.

Went out yesterday to tinker with habitat and saw this one tending a doe, sticking to her like glue. Couldn't get a real clear look bit he was outside his ears and had enough mass I could see him from way off. No drop yet, not that I could find them when they do. I'd trip on a shed and still not see it lol

I saw a fresh scrape Sunday while looking for sheds…. Latest I've ever seen one.

 

[Bgoodman30]

Hickman county getting a lot of buck pics in several locations all still holding.

Got some good exercise yesterday afternoon. None found.
