Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
That's late. I've seen them in mid March still carrying before. The mild winter probably kept them on longer this year.

Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
Which amazes me because I hear quite a bit about bucks shedding during season in Wisconsin.

Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
We still have some carrying head gear at the first of turkey season here. Which is middle of April.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
I have seen young bucks mid April still holding.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
They must all still be holding because I haven't found one single shed yet.

Re: Michigan buck still with headgear
The Lansing Journal (Michigan) posted a giant 12 point still holding both sides that was photographed next to the airport fence.
Airports of all sizes are a very much overlooked sanctuary for big bucks. It is uncanny how they can slip in and out, everyone thinks the fences keep them in. Many times they do not.
