Antelope horn shedding

[DFS]

I am not much of an antelope aficionado, I know some bucks in the area that are already shedding. My question is do the better bucks generally shed first or is it random?

No idea, but I was on my way back from hunting elk a couple years ago when a buck crossed the road in front of my and lost this while crossing the fence. It was cool to watch.

I guess I would also like to hear if anybody has seen a real good antelope early November. Seems like they have been shedding early the last couple years.

Buddy shot a mid 70's antelope Nov 7th a few years back, went to pick up the head and one sheath popped off, grabbed the other side and it popped off as well.
I'll be out next week with an antelope tag, hopefully a few still running around that haven't shed.

I killed a low 70s last weekend of antelope season couple year back not sure if you’d consider it good

I deer hunt a area i leave for Wednesday that has lots of lope. Every year the resident herd of pronghorn bucks loose horn sheaths while i am hunting during first week of november. Easy to find along high usage trails, never noticed trend related to size just a lot loose them during that period.

I shot an upper 70s inch antelope buck the last day of the MT season one year. When I grabbed his horns to move him around for field dressing, the sheath popped off in my hand.

I was told by a guy today it has to do with temperatures below freezing is there any truth to that?
