Hard to believe how fast their antlers grow in such a short time!

Wow!!! I can't believe how much growth they have right now!!! I guess I could with all the rain we had early and the sun we've been having, it's prime time forage out there right now......Nice pics thanks, I thought I only drooled at night while I was sleeping.....

That's what I hoping for, lots of forage=big growth!! With the great weather that we are getting I am hoping that the summer heat won't last into the early hunt for the east side this year.......not that I'm complaining about he weather right now, just would like to to cool down come Sept. 4th

Sweet!! :tup:

Any idea how long ago he dropped-have you been watching him for a while? or is this a random hike in an area you happened to be in??

Nice bulls!!

The Really big bulls are solid 5x5s  . Pretty normal horn growth from what I have seen.  .

Two different bulls shown here.  I've been watching a particular area and seeing a dozen+ of the same bulls.  Most dropped around just shy of mid-April with a few larger bulls not dropping until first week or so of May.  I'm guessing these two have just over a month's worth of growth.
