Re: Bucks holding antlers
What do you attribute it too? Good mass crop and mild winter?

Re: Bucks holding antlers
We found both sides to a ~145" buck in Culpeper rabbit hunting mid-January. That was the only set, or antler, we found until today (1 side of a sm. 8 point) & we rabit hunt hard, 'bout 3 days/week.

Re: Bucks holding antlers
Got game cam pics of one this week with a full set still... I think the date was the 23rd but may have been the 24th. I'll go back and check.
