Went shed hunting last weekend and found a few fresh singles—but no pairs. Got me thinking about why bucks shed at such different times. Turns out it’s not random. In the North, older bucks drop early after a hard rut. Down South, the longer breeding season keeps testosterone high, so mature bucks hold on longer. Stress from poor nutrition or injury can also trigger early casting. And the way antlers actually fall? Their bodies actively release them—pretty wild. Anyone else noticing early or late drops this year where you hunt? Any patterns you’ve picked up over time? #hunting #shedhunting #DeerHunting #Outdoors
