Latest you have seen a muley with antlers

[BrianID]

What is the latest you have seen a mule deer still packing their antlers?
I've seen a few with antlers in mid April but yesterday I saw a two point in Southern New Mexico still packing one antler. May 2nd is the latest I have seen now.
I'm guessing this isn't too uncommon in Sourhern NM, AZ and TX because they rut later but I was still surprised. Has anyone else see mule deer with normal unshed antlers in May?

I have a picture of a 2 point in southern Colorado still packing one side on May 30. The other side was a velvet nub I've always wondered how he ended up looking.

It's funny this post came up. I was in Wyoming for the opener, and I couldn't believe it I saw a 180 or better buck still packing both sides. Hard horned and white ready to fall anytime.

Bullcrap? I've seen more deer with their antlers still on their head down here in az first week of May than I have seen deer that have dropped.

LAST EDITED ON May-05-17 AT 10:20AM (MST)[p]It very well could be true a 180 class buck was still holding but it wasn't because they just haven't dropped like normal yet. He had to be an atypical buck. I knew of a bull(free range Utah bull) elk that shed his antlers in November every year and shed his velvet mid June. Some animals "clocks" are just off. But definitely 100% of everything has shed in Western Wyoming except these atypical animals. Damn near all the decent sized muleys dropped early March or even late February this year where I am.

I saw a 150s 4x4 with both sides in the middle of May a few years ago in central utah

May 5th in SW wyoming about 4 years ago I saw a buck packing 1 side. I couldn't believe it he was probably a 140's type buck.
