Is it myth or truth. Ever seen a side of a rack come off after being short or trailing. My customer mentioned above said being run down(malnourished) or an injury(infection) is the main two reasons they drop early Northern genetics affect this as well as they shed earlier. Some indication bucks that have had EHD shed earlier, this maybe related to being run down as well. It takes some hormone release to start the shedding process though so not sure how accurate all of this is. Norther genes shed early. Sick or hurt shed earlier. When the horns are gone, they cant breed any more, no testosterone, balls shrink up, so yes there is a drastic hormone change. A friend of my dads who raised orphaned deer told me when his bucks horns fell off, they would go somewhere and hide for a couple of weeks. He said they acted like they were ashamed of themselves, probably more like scared theyll get killed because their weapons fell off their heads. Nevertheless, its a big deal in the life of a buck when his horns fall off.
