I got the last pic of a buck with antler(s) early last week. He had one big spike on one side and had shed the other. I think the 1st one I got that had shed was about March 20.

I know all deer are different, Matt, but what's the deal on a roughly 2.5-month drop period? Trickle rut we don't know about? Weirdo deer?

Clem, the deer that rut during thanksgiving drop their antlers in January and February. The deer that rut in December and January drop theirs in March and April.

My last buck picture that still had antlers was on April 2nd. A bunch of them still had antlers as late as March 20-25.

Much of antler casting timing has to do with health of the buck coming out of rut. Better health of buck , longer they hold them. Folks get all excited when they see one with antlers in April, this is Alabama. Breeding takes place from November to well into February depending on location. Not a big deal.
