I saw 6 bucks this afternoon here in Montgomery County, all still had antlers on their heads. In a field across from the Co-Op on Wilma Rudolph, behind the old John Deere store and the TDOT garage.

got 7 bucks here at the house ( TN), and only 1 has shed 1 side. ( as of 3 days ago)
but In S IL, no antlers on camera and I found 3 good sheds,one on 1-17, and 2 last weekend, but one of them had been down for at least a month. amazing what 100 miles north will do.

I saw two bucks on April 1st a few years ago that had both sides
of their rack. It was April fools day I know, but it wasn't a
joke (ha). I guess they were some super healthy bucks, just
waiting for their new antlers to push out the old ones.

In the Southeast, most bucks should hold their antlers until at least March. In the Southeast, early antler drop is a sign of physical stress (not a good thing).

In Perry County, I would be seriously concerned if most of the local bucks shed their antlers this early on a regular basis. One year's experience may have more to do with environmental factors.

I have gotten several bucks on camera...where i hunt...they have lost their horns....but they are very Fat.......they look very healthy....but i think the cold weather has made them drop them already.......i have about 5 or 6 diffrent bucks on camera....all of them look like the just shed them too....the only thing if can figure is that from what i saw they had a very rough rut.....the doe numbers are down from us harvesting them...and i could hear them fighting all the time....i figure that had something to do with it.
