Post by: CoastalHunter on March 30, 2015, 11:26:27 PM: I live in Ocean Shores, WA of course you can't hunt here but all the bucks I've seen here dropped around the 3rd week of February. I was driving along the Canal yesterday and seen a buck with about 4 inches of velvet horn. He is going to be a big son of bi&&& this year!! I however can't wait to see my 7 point to see if he gets bigger or starts over.

Post by: tgomez on March 31, 2015, 05:03:39 PM: I was shooting my .30-06, and .22lr and saw about 200 deer driving in to Chattaroy from Spokane. One of the deer had about 3.5 inches of newly grown antler. It was a very mild winter and should be a great year for mature bucks. Im sure many of us will see alot of bucks out chasing "thunder chickens"(gobblers) this spring. It is always fun seeing bucks no matter what time of year it is! :tup:

Skyval, you must be pretty hard up.
