To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

 Never seen a muley out of velvet before 8/27.  Not saying it doesn't happen.

Everything seems early, we have elk bugling everywhere early, muleys outta velvet early and whitetails out super early. must be global warming or stress from wolves  :chuckle:

blacktails around my neck of the woods were rubbed clean the last week of August.  I have yet to see one or get one on my trailcams that is out yet.  It always varies a bit but it's an interesting thing to track from year to year.
