    Is it just in my neck of the woods (30 miles south of Canada) that antlers seem to be dropping later than usual most of the decent bucks are still walking with both on there head. I'm starting to blame El Niño and a record warm winter

    I am in Central IL and have 16 sheds with three over 60 inches. I have not seen many still holding but there are some.

    The opposite here, we started finding them fresh in January and February which never happens for me. They usually hold until March or even late April here.

    In our area it appears that they have held on longer than normal as a general rule.
