Just curious to see how far along your bucks are right now guys.

I'd love to see any that you guys are seeing now, and I'm also specifically interested in seeing any pics that you guys may have from last year, showing a buck this time of year and then again once the same buck has come out of velvet and fully developed. I was able to glass quite a few this past weekend, and also have quite a few pictures and I'm curious to see how developed they are elsewhere in comparison, and if anyone has pics from last year showing how much more we can expect them to grow before shedding velvet.

Anyone have any pics to share? Let's see what you have running around!!


Picture below was taken last night from one of my favoriteglassing spots on the property. It's 320 yards tothe food plot you can see in the distance (the mowed area). I also use the .223 to thin the woodchuck population in the horse pastures,but the 14x really helps to zoom in on the bucksto see what kind of headgear they have as well. I watched 8 deer enter the field last night right into that plot, all within 15 minutes or so.5 of them had some sort of headgear [8D].

Here are a couple I got nothing special yet I think these will be rather small. What do you think?


Now these were taken on June 1st so they had and have alot of time to grow!

I've seen a couple of Bucks that are already as wide as their ears and definitely showing promise.

It seems around here July is a big Growth month.

Not looking good so far this year. Last year the growth was much farther along and I attribute this to the longer winter season this year.

I just got the cam out this weekend..Lots of dead bucks on the side of the road lately. It appears some of the bucks are a few weeks behind the others.. From what I've noticed in the passed....our bucks in Michigan are not fully developed until Late July...

I love that shot of the whistle pig, groundhog,woodchuck....Great idea for a pic!

I saw 4 tonight.... Two of them were yearlings one was nice and the otherwas a "gagger" I am going to set a cam up on them tomorrow....

Tim:

I think that buck in your second picture is bigger than you might think. He's not a yearling, and has some pretty good growth for a month ago. I only have 2x bucks so far this year that are bigger than him, and my bucks on camera have 2-4 weeks of growth on that guy.

Buckeye, can't wait to see what you have brewing.

We had to run out to the farm tonight so we did some glassingof the usual haunts. Guess who we seen?? He isa little past the G4 and it looks like he is going to haveG4 on his right side this year. Looks like it is about an inch so far. Theleft side G4is a couple inches.

We have been seeing a few!!We are going to check cameras again Wed its been about 3 weeks.

Good god Tim, that isa stud..............and just think, he's got 2x months to grow!
