Still Wearing the Headgear
Posted by DDH Staff

Although the majority of white-tailed bucks have shed their antlers from last year, I am still receiving reports of deer still holding on to one side and, in rare cases, both sides. The following photo was taken by a good friend of mine (and loyal D&DH reader) from Waupaca, Wis., which is just south of our editorial offices here in northeast WI. This photo was taken Sunday, March 16. We are keeping track of dates for sightings across the country, so please add your notes to this post.

I live in PA {today is 3/23/08). I have seen several bucks still with antlers. For some reason the smaller bucks have lost one side and the bigger bucks still have both sides. Can't figure it out.

I live near Front Royal, Va, on a mountain-side with lots of deer. In early April, (the 5th, I think), I had a 3-point pass through my yard while several doe were milling around. Saw him again around the 8th, but haven't seen him since. Pretty late in the cycle for them to still be carrying head-gear, but mother nature is sometimes strange to understand.
