Bucks still holding?

[catman529]

How many of y'all are seeing bucks still holding? I haven't got any cameras and haven't seen any bucks in the past couple weeks. Went shed hunting prime habitat the other day and turned up 1 old shed from last year. Also found an old one the day before behind the house. No fresh ones yet. My gut feeling is most bucks are holding. Honeysuckle is showing green, won't be long before a lot of these deer infested thickets become solid green leaves. Hope to find a few before that happens and before turkey season. Anyone actually seeing a lot of bucks drop antlers?

I was fortunate enough to make a trip through a clients farm today in perry county while talking business / bs. Many are still holding there.

I found 9 in one walk last weekend, but went back 2 more times and only found 1 each time. Got the easy ones out of the way, they were in fields. I saw several deer and didn't see any with antlers, but I'm sure there are some that still have them. The landowner found one on a road I had been down several times that obviously dropped overnight between me looking. I guess they are dropping pretty good right now. This was in west TN.

I'm in Perry County, still getting several pictures of bucks with at least one horn holding on. Seems to be mostly younger deer.

Got the pictures from my camera Saturday - the battery had run down so last picture of a buck was Feb 14 - but there were two bucks that day.
The 6 point still had both antlers. Spike had lost one. That's the earliest by far that I've ever seen a buck lose an antler on my place in Franklin county.

checked cameras on a farm in Wilson and Rutherford county yesterday with 90% still holding both sides. Found two sheds laying together. First matching set ever found together. They were the only sheds found...

Saw 7 bucks together by the house about a week ago. One had shed both sides, 2 half racks, and 4 with both sides. I always see bucks still carrying at the start of turkey season around here in Lincoln.

Got pictures of some still holding through 2/19. I did find a small shed last Friday on the same property.
