The spikes and 3x4 I saw this past weekend were still in velvet.  I'm thinking we'll be seeing more torn up trees in the next 2 wks or so.

I was down your way today looking for elk, no luck on the elk, but i did come across this guy. This was the only shot of him i could get before he slipped into the brush.

Everything on the trail cams is still fuzzy over here.  One guy from my elk camp said that he saw one the other day that was rubbed off. :twocents:

Found a fresh rub on an alder on the edge of an abandoned road in the Toutle today timber cruising.  Also had a forked horn buck at 38 yards bedded down that was still in velvet.

I was up yesterday for a half day trip...went to check my trail cam's after a 10 day soak.  Never even got to them. I had to get back to the office to for a few appointments.  Just glassed the cleared ridge's....the bigger bulls (most of the 5's and 6's were hard horned), the majority of the johnny bulls were still all fuzzed up! I saw one 5 pt that had his left side hard and his right was still pretty much covered with velvet still. That was pretty cool.  All in all...it was a great day! I am jacked for September 6th!

I found a rub this weekend that I am pretty sure is this years even though the wood is already turning brown.  There was no sap and no healing.   :dunno:
