Hasn't shed yet...

Unread postby greenhorndave » Fri Jun 28, 2019 9:50 am

From the Drury DeerCast app.

Someone captured a buck that hasn't dropped its antlers yet. Curious to see what happens.

Certainly an oddity.

3rd time in the last 3 years I've seen this. Last year a guy had one buck that kept 1 antler from the '17 season, through to the spring, summer and fall of '18, all while growing a new antler on the opposite side. Not sure what happened to the deer after the 18 seasom

Doe with antlers? I know there have been a few of those around before and they don't play by the rules.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is an antlered doe. They do some odd things antler wise.
Anything worth doing, is worth over doing.

I doubt it is a doe, as they usually never go to hard antler, stay in velvet the whole time. Maybe lost his boys on a fence last fall, though his head is swelling up around the bases.

We actually shot a doe with hard antlers about 20-25 years back, just a little one but they come along with all kinds of possibilities.
