Velvet

[Poleaxe]

Haven't checked my cameras in several weeks trying to keep everything quite. I was driving the train through north Georgia yesterday and saw 4 good bucks all still full in velvet. What's everybody else been seeing in their part? Have they shed it yet in their part of the woods?

id say around 50-70 percent have from what ive seen so far more shedding it each day

I picked up a few in hard antler by Sept. 7, but still got a mature buck and a group of middle-aged bucks in velvet Sept. 9.

Still Full Velvet in Fayette County TN but we always seem to be a few weeks behind everyone else.

Had one with hard horns on Sept. 5th in southern Marshall county. Checked cameras 2 days ago in north AL and all bucks on it were hard horns, and a couple that had shed velvet by Sept. 8th.. Which is odd, they usually don't shed til late September on AL farm.... Saw some bucks in Giles that were still in velvet also and that was 3 days ago.

They are starting to get hard in Benton and Henry county. Ready to start seeing a little horn knocking going on before too long.

Eveything I've seen in Wilson co. The last two weeks have been hard horned.

Here in west tn I saw 2 bucks 2 days ago hard. Haven't checked my cameras in about 2 weeks.

Out of 4 bucks 2 of them are hard horned the other 2 (older bucks) are still in full velvet.

This is in SouthWest KY.

 

[Jaahspike]

Everything hard-horned about a week ago in Wilson co for me as well.

 

[BSK]

Almost all bucks out of velvet in my area as of the 20th.
