New ones comming in?
 

SOmeone that can edit pics, and clear them up a bit try to clear these up, so you can tell if its new growth or what. I cant tell, it rained last night so the pic quality wasnt very good.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

looks like it could be a nubber from this year.....young buck no matter what

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Well ... I did what I could with it , but I really don't see any nubs on this deer.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Looks like in the first pic hes starting to get his nubs...hard to tell though. I wouldnt dobut it

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Maybe its just a button buck, their nubs don't shed right?

RE: New ones comming in?
 

im sure its a button

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Here's the other picture , in this one you can seethe little nubs alot better.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

To me it looks like the first picture has little nubs, not sure about the second one. Wont be long will they all start sprouting.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

yeah it definately looks like hes sprouting but i think hes probably gonna be a 1yr old this year.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

ive always wondered that, but I'm sure they do, because they have to go into velvet to grow the new ones...

We are still a WAYS off up here.

RE: New ones comming in?
 

would a change in weather trigger it? we went from being in the 50's to being in the 70's and 80's for 2 weeks. What exactly triggers them to start growing?

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Here is one I had in my Rye plot last week. You can see his starting to come in, this is in Northern Michigan!

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Cougar, I think the trigger is the amount of nutrients that the deer get along with nicer weather. I could be wrong, but it sounds good doesn't it?[8D]

RE: New ones comming in?
 

see his button buck is shedded...

RE: New ones comming in?
 

Even the buttons come off! This guy I would guess was a button last year or possibly a spiker! He had a buddy with him who smaller and had small spots where I would say where buttons were shed. This guy is actually growing in new antlers!
The bucks will start growing new racks a few weeks after they shed their old ones. The early growth comes on very slow, then picks up big time!

RE: New ones comming in?
 

yeah im pretty sure the guy i posted is a year and a halfer spiker i have from last year or a little nubber.
