Anyone seeing any bucks still in velvet? I figure there are a few, but most have shed by now... I filmed a young 6 pt this evening that was still fuzzy, made me wonder how many are still holding on to it.
 
I have 35 different bucks. Only the spikes are still holding on to velvet. Likely due to lower testosterone levels. The rest of the boys are hard horn now. It happened over the course of about a week.
 
As of last Saturday, I only had one with hard antlers on my cameras. One 4 year old 9 point was still totally velvet. I think there were just 4 different bucks in that set of pictures though so I don't know about some of the other bucks I've been seeing all Summer.
 
Last pull from the mineral site had just one buck in 2 weeks, not checked any other cams yet. That little 8 was still in velvet last week, clean bone this week. Need to check my other cams this weekend.
 
Out of all of my buck pics, only had two 8 pts in velvet as of Friday morning. Moved all of my cameras to food plot edges and bucks are wearing them out morning and afternoon. Really need another rain shower this week.
 
All the 3 year old bucks around my place are still in velvet. A couple of younger bucks have shed. I looked at pictures from 2 cameras taken just this week a while ago.
