Yesterday morning got me excited. Kept it under wraps while bear hunting till now. I saw 2 bucks that had shed velvet and found an alder sapling completely thrashed and had blood spots and such on it. Of course I have longer to wait this year as I switched back to modern for deer this year. But still, its got me excited!

Got Pics?
-
No pictures this go around. We will see after I get out again tomorrow morning. I didnt have my camera and 1 buck was 200+ yards off, the other was in the dark by the road while I was driving near my hunting area.
-
theres a six inch spike that hangs around in our yard that has shed its velvet now.
-
Gettin' to be that time of the year!

There was a hard-horned three point blacktail in my back yard yesterday that was pushing two does. Seems a bit early even for pre-rut behavior, but he was clearly interested in 'em (and they were just as clearly *not* interested in him).

Need to check my cameras, but I don't think mine are loosing velvet yet - as least not as of the 18th according to these photos
-
the two and three point bucks in our back yard just lost their velvet the last 2 days.
-
Saw a nicw 4point whitetail today all polished up.
-
The bucks in Ocean Shores have been steadily stripping the velvet since mid-August. Never seen it happen this early.
-
All 8 bucks using my property have shed velvet. 2 were sparing pretty hard last night in front of my camera.
-
I saw 3 bucks last Saturday. One little spike already polished off the velvet. The big fork and another spike still were in velvet. They were all hanging around with a little doe. Sniffing her up and getting run off by the big buck. She was trying to cuddle up to the big one. :dunno:
-
From 18 Aug - No velvet. First time I've seen this buck, at least this year. Spittin' image of the buck I shot there a couple years ago.

went up in weyco last night, driving the roads at sunset. saw one herd of elk in the trees, a spike elk in a clearcut and a cow and two calves in another clearcut. we saw nineteen deer and four were bucks some had velvet and others were hard horned.

Watched a spike and a 2x3 spar last weekend by the front gate of the transfer station in Rainier. Both were hard horned or at least were after their sparring session :chuckle:
-
This one is hard horned, last week he was in velvet. :chuckle:
