March is usually the month when antlers start to fall. Mostly it's the largest antlers that drop first. This gives the older stags more time to grow their next set during the summer months. You often see a younger animal still sporting his last year's headgear alongside a much more mature stag conspicuously without his means of defence.
This animal has a good full set still in tact, while another looks to have lost his very recently.
