RE: WI bucks
We are seeing some bucks in Iowa already shedding as well... I heard some guys talking about the deer being ahead on the "biological calendar"?
If anyone knows what that means or how far ahead they are and what it means for antler growth I'm curious to know...

With stress and rigors of winter, " horn " keeping is last on the " to do " list. Once rut/mating and all that's associated with it is over, antlers serve no useful purpose. Nutrients are directed elsewhere. Main reason a wounded/injured buck's antlers pull right off DURING season.
