If he looked healthy, I wouldn't worry about it. Some deer just drop early, just like some does cycle early.
We've got an 8+ year old running around that's on a way earlier cycle than everything else. He usually sheds the first week of January. He also grows way ahead of everyone too and will be done growing before the end of July. He makes everything else look bad during the first few weeks of summer protein pics, then he gets done growing and the rest keep going.
We have another 7 YO buck that keeps his horns until almost April. Same property.
I know of a ranch that had a 200" deer shed right after Christmas last year, then got shot as a doe a week or two later. The timing can definitely cause problems.

I hunt Southeast Ok. My #1 shooter was coming back around after they logged our place. On the 20th he was at the feeder before dark. the next day missing one side and the next both sides gone. On to #2 on list. Showed up while i was in the stand on the 27th and was missing one side. I haven't gotten pics of a buck with horns since the 30th.
