Nice. I've got a new dog that I've trained for antlers. I've read that this time of year is tempting to go search but that the encroachment is also at the worst time of the year for deer.
With them starting to drop and it being winter (we've got our second stretch of 18+" on the ground), an article I just read (something that showed up on my newsfeed) said it's a stressful time for the deer. I'll see if I can find the article. It basically talked about that being the reason out west you can't go after elk antlers as they have a shed hunting season.
