20-30 bucks this weekend, only 1 hard horned.

12 bulls, 3 yearlings in velvet, anything older was hard horned. Bulls were with cows and bugling decent.

Everything I saw today was still in full velvet.  Lots of deer but no bear.  No acorn crop this year  :'(

Saw a forkhorn muley last night at about 4000 ft.  Still velvet.

Muley near the river this morning still had a full set of velvet.

This forkey, from last Saturday, still had velvet but the rub was pretty fresh and in the same area.

I saw 21 bucks yesterday.  The smaller bucks were hard horned and the bigger bucks still had velvet.

That's wierd Gringo.  Exact opposite up here.  Nearly every bigger buck I've seen in the past few days was hard, and the little guys were fuzzy.  One dandy 3 point this morning standing in front of me at 20 yds that was very fortunate that I was after another guy. ;)
