Early droppers

[E-Town Hunter]

Seen some really nice Whitey sheds already. Is that normal for NE wash? I've seen the mulies here in the basin still packing in late MARCH early APRIL.

perfectly normal. white-tail shed prior to muleys.

I have seen whitetail with antlers in April...but that is the exception. I always see WT shedding this time of year but I do think a larger perecentage of them seem to be dropping than I have seen in years past....personal observation..nothing scientific about it. I see most of them shed in Jan/Feb.

Wasn't there a big whitetail on here recently that got killed then popped one side off when the guy got to it?

Yes, I heard of two cases of antlers falling off draging bucks out.  I love sheds but not that kind

Intresting i never knew that the whitetails would shed before the others.

not uncommon around here to arrow a big buck in the last few days of the archery season to have antlers popping off, I have shot 3 bucks in the past years Dec 13-15th and 2 of them have lost sides
