RE: velvet growing

I saw a buck on the side of the road a week ago with thick 4-5 inch "stumps". I hate to call them spikes, because you can tell he would be much bigger than that by hunting season.This isthe firstbuck i have seen growinganything yet, although I haven't rode around much in the hunting club so far.

I hunted TX for turkeys over the weekend and saw 2 bucks that were still sporting their head gear. My buddy saw 3 different bucks as well.

RE: velvet growing

I couldn't belive it either ,but this was though a spotting scope at 200 yds.This is a record for me, befor april . I also have a large fresh shed found on christmas day [150" 5x5] That was 15 years ago.
