kmwellslv Report post Posted February 4, 2008 okay so i saw 4 white-tails yesterday(& a covey of mearnes & gambels) all of which had no antlers. Does that absolutely mean they were does? Could they have been a buck that shed? when do they typically shed and start growing back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Yes, they were most likely does. The bucks are still rutting at this time of year and still have their antlers. They don't shed them until later in the spring like April and May. You can find info on the antler cycle in the coues deer biology section of the main site. The link below will take you there. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/coues_biology/life_stages.htm Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
