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.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

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

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.
