Congrats. Feels early due to the weather, but by looking at the calendar I suppose it isn't too early. My area is generally a Feb-March-Apr time frame for finding them.

Can't believe they are dropping like this! Some are dropped early every year even as early as December in certain areas to the north and in places where deer are enclosed like, The Wilds but this season is out of the norm, IMO.

I try to stay off the farms I have permission to walk on till at least the end of season in case someone is still hunting. I hope if the deer are dropping them early in my areas that the critters don't chew them up too bad! Lol

Congratulations on the sheds you found! Looks like two bucks started dropping, that's crazy!
 
Congrats on the finds!! It does seem early, at least on our properties, we haven't gotten any trail cam pics of bucks dropping however I've talked with quite a few others who are saying bucks are shedding.

Nice job! The northern areas seem to drop sooner. Our deer here in the SW are like pin oaks shedding their leaves! Lmao

I don't know Ric. I always feel like they drop sooner in the south. Never made sense to me. Just seemed that way.
