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?
