Ive been deer hunting for 47 years and i have never seen a buck in velvet in may. I have 15 to 20 deer that feed in my back yard everyday.they are used to me sitting there watching them and pay me no attention…i have one nice 8 point with a nice rack in full velvet.
Anyone seen this before?
Saw one on Fripp Island this past weekend in velvet…

Never seen on this early but have heard a couple people say they are seeing it. According to the scientists they can start antler regeneration as early as March in many places.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Plenty of deer sporting a velvet half grown rack right now. Its almost june and some bucks will have hard antlers by august 1st.
