Still full velvet in MT. but: bucks were much more visible this week, out in the fields, therefore it's not far off.

Z, Yes that is the right date. Up until this point, I believe the earliest I have got pics in years past was the 22nd or 23rd. I actually have pictures of this same buck on the 15th still in full velvet.
