    I have seen several bucks lately that still have not dropped both antlers. Whats the latest people have seen bucks with antlers around where you hunt? My uncle in Iowa has a buddy who got a picture of one last week holding one side with the velvet growing up around the old antler.

    Got pics of one who lost one side in Dec but the other side was bloody last weekend. One side is 3-4" high, the other is a hole?

    I saw a little buck still packing one side here in central Kentucky on April 21. He was running with two other's that had new growth. That's the latest I've ever seen.
