Some have others have not, not unusual from what I have seen. Speaking of Hamilton County, on the first lease I had there while turkey hunting in mid April 2 bucks walked by one a nice 8pt with full rack, the other was about the same body size and already had about 2 inces of new growth

All mine seemed to have dropped by now. Agreed, a little late, but each deer and each micro-ecosystem is different, I suppose.

Giblett, I’m curious, are you saying most still have horns are just some?

I've picked up a fresh shed set in a feed pen one year in June in Val Verde County.
