None of the mule deer bucks in the yard have shed their antlers yet. Seems late. Are mule deer

bucks in your yard shedding yet?
 
They still got them at my place 15 miles south of Bluehair. My uncle has 1 of about 15 bucks that has shed 20 miles to the east near Mancos.
 
A biologist told BigJT the bulls here last spring had a later start regrowing antlers, that’s why the average bull last year didn’t have the time to growth more antler.

I wonder if this later shed, this winter/spring, is a result of last years heavy snow, late run off.

Interesting to watch.

Maybe we don’t know as much as we think we do about these animals??
