I was out checking cameras this afternoon and found the first rub of the year.

Well Boys & Girls, The Velvet's Coming Off....
- Thread starter ricky racer
- Start date
It was fresh alright. I've got afew pictures of a couple of the smaller bucks with hard antlers but most of the bigger ones are still in velvet.
Here are some pictures of a few taken within the last 2 weeks above 10 yards from thr rub.
Disregard the dates on the photos, I changed the batteries before setting the camera out and like a bone head, forgot to reset the dates.
I know they’re out of velvet....just not convinced the rub is new......looks like a cherry which shines up pretty bright and usually a little sappy.
Shavings at the base mean nothing.....I can take a pic of a dozen that still have piles from last year.

I got a few pictures of deer still in velvet last week but all of the 2.5+ year olds I have been getting on camera had rubbed out by 8/30. I usually start my season next weekend with bucks still in their summer patterns. I’m getting pictures now of bucks I haven’t seen this year and the ones I was getting on camera every day headed to peanuts have disappeared. Right now I have lost a couple seven points but gained a 9 and an 8. The first pic I had of a deer in hard horns was 8/27
This guy peeled a few days ago. The other good bucks around still are in, but I imagine it'll come off soon
Yup they are shedding left and right

I had his long lost cousin around a few years ago. He's not a legal buck here so I had to let him walkMy favorite hard horn pic yet this year.

Brothers from another mother! Those weird ones are always the ones you remember and luckily if i see this big 3 i can take him. I think it would be a sweet euro mount.

That buck looks like he would go around killing all the others with that big dagger!My favorite hard horn pic yet this year.

Good luck, knock him down! I had him 15 yards one morning, just had to watch him go by. We're on a 3 point rule here and he didnt have a 3rd point on that forked side or he would of been in trouble. Youths can shoot a buck with no restrictions, but he never came out in front of any of my nephews. I think it'd be a sweet euro! And he's clearly an old mature buck
