I saw a few bucks scouting a few days ago that are done..be surprised if there was 2" added by the time they shed..pretty easy to tell when looking at animals in velvet. Tines that go to points and beams that are fully wrapped around = done

I'm going to disagree with everyone on here.  I'm also going to argue my case using facts and statistics using datat that I just now made up.

A study done by Harvard Law foudn that deer antler growth is only 78.67852% complete by September 1st.  Further more almost 92.74532% of bucks still have velvet through the 13th of September.  The actual day that bucks antlers stop growing all over the US is exactly Sept 15th.  The Native Americans used to celebrate this day in a festival known as "Day of the Hardening"  NOTE *Historians have conflicting views on what this day really meant*  For the next two weeks the antlers begin a process of bone hardening.  On October 1st the bucks begin the peeling process.  The deer accomplish the peeling process like this.  In every drainage there is a tree known to the deer as the "Rubbing Tree"  all the buck will gather around and take turns rubbing their velvet off.  A study done by the University of Delaware found that the biggest bucks started first followed by the smaller bucks.  This process usually takes exactly 14 days.  Therefore the peeling process will be complete by October 14th.  Oxford University found that in the United States on October 14th EXACTLY 99.3245% of bucks have finished peeling their velvet.  Which if you guys must know is the exact reason why Rifle Season in Washington starts on October 15th.  The WDFW wants all the rifle hunters to be able to shoot hard horned bucks. 

So you see the WDFW isn't as dumb as you all think.  There now you know how the growing and peeling process is done and why rifle season starts October 15th.  Now go ahead try and shoot some holes in that process and explination I DARE YOU!!  You can't it is bullet proof and completely sound.  So what if I used made up stats and facts.  Their still facts.   :chuckle:

awww...Bless your heart.  You didn't know this was a joke... :hello:

Better not read any other threads that you see Colockumelk (or me for that matter) chime in on.  He'll have you setting Bfoot traps around your camp (and have the "factual" evidence to back it up too... :chuckle: :chuckle: )
