Whoa! Don’t say that all you are doing is riling up people out hunting still ! Antlers aren’t dropping ! This is sarcasm as I was called out by a member saying moose don’t drop in November
They don’t drop early. That’s why someone got a moose over here on the last day and the paddles were in the bed of his pickup. Must of shot them off :chuckle:

Definitely happens every year,some early drops.
Not to say I've also seen some holding into January and February.
My theory is ,the harder they rut,faster they drop.
But who really knows,too much science stuff for me.

It’s early for deer, but getting close. I’ve killed 3 bucks now dec 13-15 that antlers fell off.
I've killed a few late buck ,bucks that felt like is was gonna bust off when I started dragging it.
So did you find the other side on the blood trail.
Or did you recover both sides.
Or where you left with an Elliot deer mount.

Probably still have those horns if it wasnt for the 4x4s. :twocents:Plenty of people, including myself, pick up sheds at home off their feeders and hay piles without the use of vehicles.

:rolleyes: you're insane. First, there were no 4x4s in that picture. And there is nothing trap like about it, it's a basic feeder.

Date is right on this pic..Healthy deer ..The same deer shed 5 days later (15th) the next year. I found the one from the 10th right after he shed and the one from the 15th the next year right after he shedI usually have a few on cam that look just like that by Christmas.
Yup,pretty normal.

After hearing lots of folks think things were pushed back a little bit/were a little later than normal, shedding might just be the opposite this year. I just witnessed a whitetail drop both sides in the last 30 hours. Late season hunters, grab those antlers gently when ground checking them.
Haha I was on a Sitka Blacktail hunt with some buddies out of Cordova, Alaska. At the end of the day we all met up at a friend's cabin on Hawkins Island. Young guy had gotten a real nice buck and couldn't wait to show it off. He jumped in the skiff his buck was in and grabbed it by the antlers and Pulled with all his might to lift it high enough for us all to see it and the antlers fell off. He was pulling so hard he fell over backwards out of the skiff into the water with an antler in each hand. We had a great laugh and of course he got a good ribbing. He did get the first turn in the sauna that night.

And he keeps trolling my comments and old posts after I was blocked from one of his...this is why I'm silent on here 90% of the time anymore. It's best they just keep assuming those bulls hold paddles till about May any ways. Saddest part of the season was finding a bull that had been shot and left in 117. Found a set of last years paddles about 300 yds from him.

Me personally,there are a few reasons I don't post pics anymore.
First and foremost,a handful of members know where I live,know my truck . Any game cam pics ,by knowing personal stuff about me.
Or my pickup parked in locations they know my spots.
Which is annoying to say the least ,cause I know zero about them.
On top of that,many members run pics through sites like this one.
Social media at its best.
https://www.pic2map.com/
I had a harvest pic this year criticized,and pretty much accused of
being a criminal,cause I blocked my face out.
Third reason the ethics police is strong on HW.
Not necessarily illegal, but why even deal with it.
So for those reasons,I choose not to post pics.
Maybe a recipe,or a project, or something like that I might post a pic. Definitely not any game cam or harvest pics.
Just to stay on topic,
Got a pic just a day ago of a decent buck,still had both sides.
Looks like others that do post pics,still have bucks with both sides.
Definitely hit and miss on antlers dropping.

LOL there are reasons you don’t post pictures anymore but you’re willing to give out people’s hunting spots? Can’t say I’ve seen anyone that likes to hear themselves talk more than you.

Everyone has a spot.
Truth is,nobody has a spot if it's public .
Sad about the pic,or you sad about your spot.
You tell me. 😂

There used to be a company that sold one just like that.
I believe it was called.
The rack trap. Or something like that. :chuckle:
Just to add,still seeing bucks with both sides.
Still hit and miss on sheds,my observation.

Ya because it’s still really early. Horn dropping can be thought of like a bell curve. Some drop really early some drop really late but there’s about 3 weeks where most of them drop.
