Post starting to see antlers
Last week saw a buck with a set of nice velvet nubs on his head. I've always found it cook to see how fast they grow. I read that a yearling can grow 3/4 in a week and mature deer can grow 1-1/2 in a week. That's pretty cool, and I imagine hard on the body. Anybody else noticed any?

Out scouting for turkey I seen a few bucks with good growth so far and a couple of them I do believe are going to be dandy's. So I will save their location for some turkey info for the upcoming fall.
