Title: Bulls starting to rub
Post by: Sportfury on August 11, 2013, 08:07:00 PM: This morning I watched several cows and calves, a two point, and a smallish 5x5. When the 5x5 last looked at me his antlers looked really white. Later I took the dogs for a walk where he came from and they were eating something. At first I thought it was a long dead varmint, but then realized it was rubbed off velvet. Pretty neat to see.
