Are you still seeing velvet?
« on: August 23, 2010, 05:12:05 PM »
Our neighborhood bucks just seemed to drop their velvet in the last few days.  Didn't even see any in transition.  Of course, it probably doesn't take too long to strip a fork of it's velvet.   :chuckle:  Weathergirl was hoping to get a crack at one next week still with its fuzz, oh well.

I saw 200-250 deer over the course of the last week and not one was hard-horned...whitetails and mule deer.

I did see 1 bull that was hard horned, but the other 30 or so that I saw were still in velvet. That hard-horned bull was also the biggest bull I saw...about a 300"ish 6x6.

This was all down in the Blues.

i would say that most of the bulls up here are now hard horned!   I did see a very nice buck Saturday that was still completely fuzzy.   Havent been seeing many bucks but the elk are def. hard horned!  Also heard the first bugle of the year friday!

 Two point in velvet two days ago, I don't usually see the blacktail around here out of velvet until the 2nd week of September, minus the odd freak.
