Does anybody know a good month to start looking for sheds in north Alabama. And what month will bucks start dropping their antlers? Thought about making a rack trap but I've heard that they can actually hurt a deer if the antlers aren't ready to come off and deform the antlers when they grow back.

A good antler trap is not to pull antlers off. It is to knock the loose ones off. Look near streams ,ditches and fences that deer jump for antlers.

I seem to find most of mine on the edge of thickets. Down here in LA, I won't start finding em till late April. Right when the rattlesnakes start crawling around real good.

I don't know where Wool is, but at Choccolocca WMA, they sometimes loose them before hunting season is over. I found a fresh dropped one a few years ago in mid February in Russell County near Fort Benning.

Glad you posted that^^^. I have trail cam pics of bucks that have cast first couple weeks of Feb. I know of one occasion where a hunter shot one the last week of season and an antler pulled off. Good arguments for our season NOT to run into Feb. Our deer have been harassed for 3.5 months and been through both primary and secondary breeding periods, time to give them a rest starting Feb.1. Carry on.

2Dogs, I don't know what part of Alabama you are hunting in, but I'm guessing the North end. None of us in South Bama are wanting to change the dates of deer hunting in North Bama, just the South end. Also the proposed date changes would take off two weeks in the early part of Dec and add them to the first two weeks of Feb so there is no change in the number of hunting days. The bucks in South Bama are just getting started in their first full rut the last week of Jan in most parts of South Bama.

So that gives y'all about a week or so to hunt the rut. laugh

I follow, I'm from Jackson Co. and that's the only place I hunt. Instead of saying "our season", I should have said North Alabama season. Carry on again.

In Calhoun Co I have got pics of bucks in February with antlers cast. But plently of bucks have been seen during Turkey season still sporting both antlers. I found my best shed to date on memorial day weekend a few years ago. It was in the edge of some hardwoods and had not been chewed on yet so I figured it couldn't have been there long.

Between my morning and evening hikes I covered about 9 miles.
Found 2 in 5 minutes tonight at last light. Both left sides, hoping to
Find another in the morning.
