Are the deer officially dropping ?

[bowtech721]

saw a two point blacktail still packing last week and a three point two days ago with only half his headgear...

My calandar says that we have two more days until official drop day. But I really think it all depends on the moon phase, barometric pressure, wind, temperature, food source, and shed boxes. 

All kiding aside. Not sure what you mean by official but a few always start dropping about now, here in central Wa majority really start around end of Febrary. I still keep my distance, even though the flat and bucks dont have a winter and stress is no a factor, it is nice to keep tabs on them and not run them out of an area.

Yep, people should get out there and start pushing them.......they need it, and also they need to be driven further back before they shed.

I have found that weather theyre ready or not if I get out there with my 4 wheeler and just run'em around a bunch they'll fall off any ways

yes I am very much kidding I would love to shoot the sob's that do that.

I love it when someone makes an obviously sarcastic statement, and someone on here has to ask if they are kidding. Someone would have to be PRETTY *censored* to come on here bragging about running deer around with their quad to make them drop horns.

Yesterday, I seen a Dandy 2 point with only one horn! I got quite a few pics but everyone was blurry and really far away.  I'm gonna head back up to that same spot with my dad's nice camera (which is a far better one than mine) and try to get some decent pics if he's still in the area. There was also a small buck with him that you could see both of his horn pedestals but no horns. Im assuming he was a spike last year considering how small a deer he was.

We saw a nice 4x4 today out in the sagebrush still wearing both sides.

Saw plenty today with full headgear. I even saw two big boys sparring a little bit.
