ccwhitey Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was trying to roost birds this past weekend when a bachlor group of bucks came out of the timber onto the CRP field that I was on. I sat down in the grass and watched the deer since I still had awhile before the turkeys roosted The biggest bodied deer feed to about 25 yards away from me:jaw:the biggest surprise is that I could easily see that he already has about 6 inches of growth on him already:jaw::jaw:I could not believe it. Just two weeks before that I was driving around with a buddy and we saw a 120 class buck with both sides yet. I don't understand why one deer can have so much growth and the other one still hasn't dropped his antlers yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Wow that's really weird. I have not seen any yet with growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropTine49 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have one that's showing up on trail camera with about 3-4 inches, but the rest are not doing a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Nearly hit a 1 year old buck this morning. He had tiny little nubbins starting. I think he was eating fermented grapes or something. He stumbled when he hit the ditch, slipped a few times on the pavement, and nearly did a sumersault on the left side of the road has he tried to jump over a little blowdown.

RangerClay Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I have not yet but the landowner of a piece that I hunt said that he had 9 deer in his front yard last week. He could tell that 4 of them were bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 haven't been out a lot lately and when i was out i didn't notice anything. every deer is different i guess, but it's pretty late to still be carrying bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthehuntinman Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I saw a buck last weekend in Ohio that was starting to branch on top and had bout 3 to 4 inch brows already I was amazed to see that. I've saw a couple bucks here in West Virginia that have 3 or 4 inches of growth starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I saw a giant of a deer 2 days ago out in a field at dusk. Had to have been a buck, but I was going by too fast and it was too dark to see any growth. I'd like to go back there in June to see his progress. :camera: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
