There is a deer where we hunt that still has not shed. We have seen him in person and he has both testicles. Last year he was in velvet way deep into November. We got some pics of him on trial camera last night and he still has hard horns. Any ideas?

That's really odd. I would only guess he was an incredible late fawn, but even then his body should not be that far off. A unique situation for sure. Please post pics if you can. Not trying to start another knife throwing like on another thread, but is he low fence? I have often been curious if the amount of protein I know gets fed year round in some places could slightly affect the shed timing of the beams. I think not so extreme as in your case, but it would allow for more full nutrition longer in the seasons then may naturally occur??

There's a condition where the family jewels shrink to near nothing and become useless , can't quite remember the name or cause just now.
I have a deer that will be 6 and has been carrying the same anlters since 2. So for him this happened late summer of his second year. He has only added a small drop since then. Every year he hangs out with a fawn or two from the previous season. I never see him with a group of adult deer.
I've seen him numerous times from a ground blind at less than 20 yards, the stem is still on the Apple but there's no seeds....
