I can't compete on photo quality with a cell phone and no zoom lens, but he was hanging out in the back yard yesterday.

That looks like a great opportunity to bulldog/steer wrestle that buck. "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Out of curiosity, when do deer in velvet typically stop bone growth? does it slow in the later summer months, or do they grow right up until the velvet falls off? I guess my game cameras will answer the question for me if I'm lucky.

 :yeah: I am also curious about elk. When do they typically stop growing? Saw this one on Saturday and was wondering how much more he's gonna grow if any. (Sorry for the poor quality. It's a Phone Skope Pic.)

Big bulls are pretty much done growing by this week. The smaller bulls will still grow a little longer.

That's when the velvet comes off. You'll find the big bulls are pretty much done growing by now.

Here you go. Old pics everyone’s seen before but look at the antlers and look at the dates. All the same bull. He didn’t change much at all from early July to let August.

Bindweed buck
Major food source this time of year, mothers must have taught them where all the patches are.  Middle of a large monoculture, wheat, requires some memory

@Pathfinder101--Is that a mule deer in the first pic or whitetail? I once saw whitetail with similar configuration and always thought it looked more like mule deer antlers.

He's definitely a mule deer.  Hard to tell from just one pic, but I think he is 3 on his passenger side and 4 points on the other.  Unfortunately he's only shown up once, and only for one pic.  Hoping he stays in the area until October.

Saw this guy who had some extra stuff in his antlers. He tried to shake it out but still was packing it around the last time I saw him.
