I checked my trail cams this morning and found that every buck picture shows hard horns.
Here's one with potential for next year.

I also trimmed out around my ladder stand on the northwest corner of the field where I planted the brassica. It is growing nicely.

I have seen only 2 bucks in hard horn,every other one still in velvet. I would say in the next week or so they all will have shed their velvet. Shawn

I caught this guy on video coming home from school. It was surreal watching him out in the field with 6 or 7 other deer for 15 minutes or so at 7pm. He even kicked a fawn and bumped the doe around a little. Crazy! Still in velvet. If you want to see the video my instagram is @OnTheHoofTV and if you want to learn about the public hunting lands this deer was standing on just message me. I'm unfortunately out of here next year!

Nope, everything I have seen including the cameras I pulled this week are all still in velvet. Haven't seen anything really big yet either but only have had cameras out for a few weeks.

This guy showed up at the zip-tied bouquet 9.2.17. His tines are so thin, they'll be busted up soon, unless he is a lover and not a fighter.

Tom: I have a hunting property like that this year. I am speculating that the bachelor group of big bucks is hanging out on another property nearby. I think they are there...and will show up...one year wiser.

hey no one will be any happier than me if they return that' s for certain. Either way I suspect all of us will hunt just as hard because we love it so.....Tom
