Bake, make sure you hold off if you see that guy. He still needs another year.

This guy was stripped clean on Monday August 28th. I don't think I have ever seen one that early hard antlered.

Does the Velvet coming off seem like it's a little early this year. Here in Northeast PA all the buck I've seen this past week had no velvet. That's 5 buck with no velvet. I seen velvet on till about the 3rd week of September. So far none.

I pulled cards on my cameras today, 3 different places, 5 different bucks, all still in full velvet on the 15th of September. I have never seen them stay in velvet this long.
