    Anyone see any bucks still with their head gear yet? Yesterday my brother had a buck In front of his house that still had It's antlers yet. It was a tall 1st rack forky. Here's a trail cam pic of this buck from earlier In October of last year. The latest I've ever saw a buck with It's antlers yet was April 15th, I saw the buck the next day and both sides had fallen off.

    See to me that is nuts, I'm 98% positive all the bucks around here have dropped.

    60% of the Time I'm right 100% of the time.

    But then again 40% of statistics are made up on the spot. :confused:

    Speaking of stats, I hate this class 100%. The standard deviation is 0.

    I'd think that farther south they'll be gone or dropping... Northern MN... not so much. I talked to my dad the other day and he said that he's only seen one with one antler. The rest still have their racks. But he does live in Embarrass.... so it might still be a bit chilly.

    I have saw deer still sporting the headgear this late. That's interesting how it varies.

    I saw 13 deer total this past Saturday while turkey hunting and no headgear on any of them. However I was up at my Mom's place last Thursday and a buck came through her back yard still holding one side.
