No he is not shed, I’ve seen this deer during every season for multiple years and he’s never had horns, just smooth on top like a doe. I have heard of a few antlerless bucks come out of this area so it worries me.So he’s not just shed out? I can’t see clear enough if he has pedicles from the picture.
Since there are antlered does from time to time, an antlerless buck seems like a possibility. Hope he can’t reproduce though!
Book Cliffs antlerkess buck this year...
