    I live in Pontiac and have 10 so far and there are a few I saw today still packing full gear and some with half racks.

    I watched a 2, 5, and a 6 year old this morning, all three have dropped their headgear. My father inlaw has been watching all three of these bucks for quite a while, and he says they have all been dropped for over a month now.

    In some places down here the rut is still going on but in South FL they lost their antlers in December but in central and north FL they will be down about april but in one section of Central FL they will be chasing does till turkey season and they wont drop until June! Ah the joys of living in FL!! :throw:At least we have the beach and good fishing!!:tu:
