i think the best thing to do is get out and figure it out. everyone here is a liar including me. all the horns will be on the ground by june. i promise!! don't go out until then. you will be waisting your time. I'm not sure what bigboner is talking about but i am pretty sure he has never found a horn.

The bigger bulls will start in march and the spikes can carry till june. 75 % will be shed by April 15. Anyway thats the way it works out here in Eastern OR.
