Hunterjohnny Report post Posted April 21, 2016 Took this picture yesterday. Do the small ones keep their antlers sometimes? Or is he still due to drop them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted April 21, 2016 the bucks on my came shed this month. The older ones tend to drop their antlers first and the youngest ones tend to lose them last....based upon what i have seen. Seems normal to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed_az_88 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 I went out yesterday and saw 7 coues bucks. 6 were still packing 1 had dropped. I saw one mule deer that had dropped and one little two point mule deer still carrying. This was in a border unit. Generally I see the mule deer drop a few weeks earlier than the whitetail and the older bucks drop earlier than the younger bucks. That buck could very well carry those antlers into may. I see bucks every year carrying in may. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted April 21, 2016 High country or Northern game seem to drop eaier too. The desert bucks seem to start growing lter, and so they shed later from what I have seen. And mature game shed before the younger bucks/bulls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
