Q:
We had a question the other day about when deer lose their antlers. My response was that I'd never seen one with antlers in March. My picture is of a small moose but he has his antlers still and the picture was taken yesterday. Guess I'm wrong once again. Check it out on my profile.

i used to work for C.V. Whitney as equipment operator on his land in the adirondacks . i have seen one buck at his main camp hold half his rack till the end of march ,and one hold it till the 2nd of may . is seemed like the new antler literally pushed the old one off their darn head's like a kids tooth .
I too have seen bucks with their racks in march.Two years ago I had 5 or 6 bucks cross a field I had set up in to turkey hunt,one had no horns one had both sides and the others had one side.All were young bucks spikes,4 and 6 pointers.I would guess 1.5 and 2.5 year olds.This was in Ga. in mid march.
I have seen antlers on whitetails well into March. I have heard some deer may keep their antlers all summer but I'm not sure if that is true. I know I have never seen it.
As of about a week ago in N. GA some of the bucks still have their horns too.
i've saw both mule deer and whitetails still carrying their head gear this weekend. one whitetail was a particularly nice 5x5.
ive heard that shedding depends on how much the deer are pressured...
