I've seen deer killed in December that had shed their antlers, and I've seen them with both sides still attached as late as April. There are probably too many variables to identify and quantify how they affect antler loss such as: Nutrition, temperature, geographic location, date of the peak of the rut (hormones are involved), etc.
