Horns Are Starting To Grow
« on: April 20, 2010, 07:29:24 PM »
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.

one in my yard tonight with about an 1.5"  :chuckle: His Tarsals gave him away before his antlers.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

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.

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.
