Thanks all, here's a couple more. I was really trying to frame him so the sky was backlighting his rack, just to much foliage....he was patient for about a minute while I moved around, then had enough.

Pink antlers, hanging velvet this morning.  If you are into fresh rubs now is the time

I've seen a couple bucks in the same field off and on throughout the summer on my way to work and sometimes on my way home. Decent blacktail bucks for the area. Anyway one evening a little over a week ago I saw them bedded down next to each other in the same field, velvet still very much on. A couple mornings later I had an early morning meeting I was headed to and spotted them across the road in the adjacent field sparring. The velvet was off! Sadly, I haven't seen them since as they've most likely gone into solitude. Really cool to see the transition though!
