Guest HaDeRonDa Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 It's that time of year!! Today on the way to work, an hour and a half drive, I saw two bucks. A spike horn and a six point with bare antlers. Anyone else seeing bucks sporting the good stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!! Our bucks usually start rubbing right about now. Most are hard horned by Sep 10 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!! I have a small bachelors groups of 3 or 4 young bucks around the house that are all still mossy... Not sure about the older bucks as I have yet to see them... I have not gone out for an evening sit or two yet this year though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!! I see big bucks every night here in our yard and our neighbors yards. None of the bucks yet have lost their velvet. Last year, I saw a few bucks in velvet and in a matter of 3 days their antlers were clean white. I did not see them inbetween those 3 days with the velvet hanging and bloody, that wouldv'e been soo cool. Nothing yet, but patiently awaiting the white racks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!! [ QUOTE ] ...Anyone else seeing bucks sporting the good stuff? [/ QUOTE ] I'd be happy to see a flathead fawn let alone a buck with headgear I've only seen one deer in the last 2 months! I was mapping out the local arhcery 3-D course with my GPS for the owner. I looked at the list of targets I was given and there were two targets at one station. Looked down at the list to see if the deer was supposed to be there behind the standing bear and when I looked back up it flicked an ear an moved off. BTW...I geusstimated the range on the deer at 45yds..10 yds past the bear. Shot the course the other day and cut the 10 ring on the bear!!! I used to stink up a place when it came to geussing yardage but I've been practicing on everything I see lately...seems to be working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!! Ranger, let me know if your pics show velvet or not. I'm guessing that you are only about 90 minutes north of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRONZEBACK Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: Bucks with no velvet!!
