Ive seen several white tailed bucks with antlers still on over the last two weeks .
Some I saw behind a HF in central TX Isn't it a little for them to still have not shed?
The only easy day was yesterday

No. Most of the deer in the Hill Country really don't start to shed till around the March 15th and most are done by last week of March-1st of April.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Yep majority will shed in the next 2-3 weeks
Every potential trophy buck needs "another year";)

hunt county deer will start shedding in mid-late march
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

They still have antlers in Kaufman county. Shhh, there aren't any deer in Kaufman county, or Rockwall county for that matter...Everyone just move along.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Bucks dropping antlers is kinda' like trying to predict the weather. And I'm talking that "global warming" crap. Some drop early, others hang on forever.

I still see bucks with antlers.
