I spent the weekend over camping in the Methow. The deer herd looks good and the horns are growing. I even managed to find a decent 4pt shed.

We saw a buck last weekend near Naches that already had about 3" of new growth sprouting.

His Tarsals gave him away before his antlers.

Its funny you mention that. At first all we could see was his body,he had his head stuck in a bush eating. I called him a buck before we ever saw his antlers. His tarsals and body shape gave him away.

The blacktails in my area have about an inch so far.

Saw a couple blackies a week ago. One had bout an inch of growth the other was already splitting about 4 inches up.

I had four whitetails come into my decoys last weekend. This is only one who was curious enough to step up and check things out...pretty cool.

I saw an elk on tuesday that was branching out already with over a foot of growth.

hogsniper · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2010, 10:51:54 AM »

The big elk are up working on their 3rd's already! Some a little above that. The biggest bucks I have seen only have a couple inches of fuzz so far but they sure are growing fast!

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #20 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:34:23 AM »

Isn't that what you shoot anyhow the ones with fuzz?

hogsniper · « **Reply #21 on:** April 30, 2010, 09:23:17 PM »

Haha i have shot enough little fuzzy ones, now its time to step it up a notch! Heres a couple I found today!!!

Wea300mag · « **Reply #22 on:** May 01, 2010, 10:57:57 AM »

It's amazing how fast those things grow.

bowtech721 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 01, 2010, 06:04:03 PM »

unfortunetly i just saw one that got nailed on hwy 200 over here in montana that had like 6-8 inches and was starting to branch at the top... ya know kinda like a big ball of growth but you could kinda still see the points coming in

PolarBear · « **Reply #24 on:** May 01, 2010, 06:20:44 PM »

Had a bull in the pasture 2 days ago working on his 3rd point. On his right side the antler is bent straight out to the side. I'll have to watch him, if he is the big 5 from last year he will be a dandy this year and have one hell of a spread!

Kowsrule30 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 04, 2010, 12:24:28 PM »

Saw a BT walk across Lake Flora Rd that had about 8-10" and starting to split....

He's going to be a monster!!!!

Cool beans guys...

I was thinking the same thing when I spotted a herd of muleys this evening and flipped a U'ey in the highway to go back and look with the binos. No dice though, all does and fawns in that bunch.

Yep I seen a buck last night out side of town that was 10 inches to a foot out of his head already, first time in a long time that I didn't have my camera

bearpaw · « **Reply #29 on:** May 07, 2010, 09:13:46 AM »

In the last week I have seen some whitetail bucks with 6-8 inches and some with only nubs, funny how some start earlier, they probably aslo drop earlier.

270Shooter · « **Reply #30 on:** May 07, 2010, 08:37:24 PM »

My dad said he saw a buck that already had 3 points just west of ellensburg yesterday. Near that abandoned little golf course right off the freeway.

MichaelJ · « **Reply #31 on:** May 11, 2010, 12:02:26 AM »
