Late March for us in Val Verde
Don't expect to find much this year aside from the antlers 3/4 grown and still attached to the skulls from last July

I was out at Sunrise Beach (close to Kingsland) in Llano county last Sunday, most still sporting antlers but saw a few with one side dropped.

I was just watching a bunch of bucks near my feeder this morning. I was shocked to see a couple that survived the season, ones that disappeared at the end of archery season I was sure they were dead. Anyways....don't set your antler traps quite yet, had 2 sets of bucks fighting and pushing each other around and no antlers broke off. It was like early fighting where they weren't intent on winning, just some pushing and shoving. Mr. Big stuff was there, he is a big 8 that stands under the feeder and licks the spinner plate, only one big enough to do it. I missed him with my longbow at 12 yds ( yes, it happens. lol) and he disappeared right at rifle season opener. A big wide 10 did the same and he is back as well as a one antlered 4 point. I am missing a 9 and a big 6 called Super 6 that I let walk past at 5 yds a few times. They may be dead, I'll keep watching for them.

Found a fresh one today in Lampasas but the vast majority won't drop till around easter. I saw a bachelor group in April in Mills county one year, they were all still sporting their racks. Forkhorns up to a couple of nice 8s. But I've also found sheds in early March.

We found several in mid January. I think those were deer that were hurt during the rut or sickly. It happens every year. The. We start finding them again in March
