Where abouts are you at? Almost everything around me is still in full velvet

Near Rochester.
Haven’t seen anything in velvet for over a week now.
Hard horns starting showing up already the last week of August.

Wow. I checked 13 cameras 4 days ago and only had 3 bucks that were hard. That is out of probably 30 plus bucks. We must be a little behind.

13 cameras, holy cow.

I had a sequence of pictures from about 3 weeks ago that two little guys were squaring off like to spar, but I think they realized they were both still in velvet as the last picture they were licking each other.

As soon as that velvet comes off they sure like to give it a go. Boys….
