Shed Antler

[JALA RUT]

So yesterday after I got my doe, I helped my neighbor's son's kid track a spike that he hit. While tracking I found this shed antler...looks like it was a shed from last year by the amount that rodents chewed it up, but I'm not really sure how long it would take for them to chew down a shed antler. Plus I'm thinking that it's early for a buck to be shedding antlers already being the rut's still in swing not to mention the second rut would be kicking in afterwards.  Still a pretty cool find!

Early bow injury could have forced him to shed out. Injury may not kill him but set's him back.

That's a good point, I never thought of an injury causing an early shedding of antlers.
