This is the earliest i have ever seen one one rubbed! I bet i will be seeing more rubbed in the next few days.

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

Same here, I never see hard horns during the early season.

I've killed on Sept 3rd, 5th and 8th, all hard horned. First one muley latter two whitetails.

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.

All bucks I saw yesterday were hard horned. Ranging from spikes to five points. This was Grant County.

Just talked to CoryTDF. The whitey he shot last night's velvet came off in his hands when he started to drag him. He just pulled it off and rubbed dirt and blood on it. It's hard bone now.

boneaddict · « **Reply #25 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:23:48 PM »

I saw 15 or so bucks(muley) and only two were hard, one was just rubbed white with brown strips. Mine was more dark with few white spots and had a little velvet on the burr still. His fronts were dark from rubbing on whitepine I think. COOL STUFF. I didn't want to shoot a velvet buck.

Seen 10 bucks along the breaks of the Snake Rvr last on tuesday... half were hard horned....
