When does whitetails, muleys,elk,moose all start to drop?

I know it varies on the harshness of the winter and probably a lot of different elements.  I was just looking for a general time frame for the moose,elk,muleys & whitetails.  Thanks

Mooseare basically done, whitetails are well on their way, Muleys are about %50 and elk will start in a bit and peak end of March into April

maybe in washington but not down here yet. whitetails have been dropping muleys just started and elk are last to drop and that should be a shed hunter secret well to me it is and i've been doing it for quite awhile now. best thing is to not push the animals if you can hold your self back then you'll find alot more. main thing is to not push em

From what I've seen around here, the white-tails have dropped.  I've seen herds of 20+ deer roaming the base and not one with horns.  Out by Medical Lake I'm still seeing muley bucks with horns.
