It seems awfully early, but I saw a buck today that had already dropped its antlers. The deer looked normally healthy, and you could see the antler bases but no antlers. In speaking with a local CO, he stated that someone within the last week had shot a mature buck that had already dropped its antlers as well.
Doesn't it seem pretty early still? I have never even looked for sheds until at least the end of January in previous years.
