If you are still shooting does - be sure they really are does... I know of one shed buck killed on Sunday, and I saw a shed buck last night... Did not appear to be stressed in any way, and was a good size deer. Much bigger than the spike he was with.

Very good suggestion, this was deer was taken last weekend of Muzzleloader 2010  It however was shot as a buck, when we got to it both sides had been shed. We ended up finding both sets. Here it is with its antlers on, would of been a Booner if he wouldn't of dropped em. Always will be in our minds though, don't need a piece of paper to say its a trophy.  |

I swear I saw a buck two days ago that had already shed! What's up with that? He looked great. Didn't seem hurt or anything...

I shot a large doe in late muzzleloader season a few years ago and it turned out to be a buck that shed his antlers. Here's why he shed them early:   I didn't see it limping, I just turned around and it was there, standing in the field. I shot it before it took a step. The leg bone overlapped about 1 1/2" and was starting to fuse back together.  |

Have found shed's as early as thanksgiving before. Guess it's kinda like human's, as some of us shed our hair before other's. LOL

This is a good thread.
I have never run into an early shed before. At least not one with a skull attached.
I like learning new stuff.
