Out of the velvet

[Bigshooter]

Saw four different bucks coming home from work this morning.  All four were out of the velvet.  3 of them were 2pts, and one of them was a 3pt.  First bucks I have seen out of velvet this year.  Sorry no pics.

Yep!  Immagine what the highcountry smells like!  I'm feeling snow for the opening of the highhunt...

theres still hope, i just saw a three point, and he was still in velvet. he actually looked like he still had some growing to do. he was still balled up on his back tine. not sure if he make 4 or not. probably not, but theres still hope for your velvet buck.

Most of the bigger bucks that I have seen lately are all rubbed off and the little guys are still packing.

2 honker bucks I've got my eye on have been hard for about 1 1/2 weeks now. Probally won't see em again until the last week of buck season, can't wait to rip one...

I saw two bucks yesterday morning on my way to the ER that were still in velvet, they were small ones though 2x2 and a backet rack 3x3

Saw a real nice 3x3 blacktail outside Monroe a couple days ago...it was with a smallish 2x2. Both were still in full velvet.

I saw a buck last night that that was out of velvet and out of his summer coat. It was a 20-22" 2pt, but barely two on one side, almost a 2x1. It was cool to see him gray compared to the red ones he was with.

Saw four more bucks last night all out of the velvet.  Two spikes and two 2pts.

[Bscman]

Saw a 2x2 and a spike just outside Stanwood last night right at dusk.
Both still in velvet, and standing on the shoulder of old 99. I almost took the rack off the 2pt with my side mirror!

According to my buddy's trail cam, the bucks in our area are still in velvet as of the 29th.  We'll see tomorrow.

my son & I went out last night to check on our farmer friends oat fields and how the elk are behaving in 'em and saw about 100 deer and EVERY buck we saw was still in velvet.
