I have seen some shed in late December and others still carrying them in early April. Had 2 nice bucks come by the second week of April one had about 2 inches of new growth while the othre still had a nice 10 point rack. Depends on the deer I guess
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

1) MLDP tags are good to Feb. 28...so the state of Texas doesn't think it is that unusual.
2) I live in Sun City in the outer city limits of Georgetown and see hard horned deer until March every year. I don't have hard data (pun intended!) but it appears that the largest deer are the last to drop.

I see several bucks a day that still have not dropped. Couple more weeks it should start.

Haven't seen a shed buck yet on my place in the panhandle. Last year, I had bucks wearing headgear into April.

Saw a small mulie buck out by Lake Merideth yesterday. He had a spike on one side. Was he shed or just broken off. Couldn't tell, he was more than 100 yards away and moving through brush. The spike I saw through the binos was about 6 inches long.
