A couple more about finished. Have two hard antlered bucks on camera already and one other starting to peel. There was a dead hard antlered 12point on one of our main roads I saw today. They’re starting to shed the soft stuff! Less than a month away boys!

Both properties have young bucks showing up now with velvet missing and hard antler peeking through. I attached the first buck that showed today missing velvet here at home and I expect most of the others to start shedding theirs over the weekend.

More bucks showing up with missing velvet on their antlers today at both properties.

This one just moments ago here @home.

Very cool!

I had a buck show up over the week with full velvet. Was gone 7 minutes and came back with a clean rack. Not a big buck, but pretty amazing nonetheless.
Interesting. I had a similar series of pics. Not 7min, but short time period. I wrote it off as "must've been a couple similar basket racks." Now I need to go look closer. I had no idea how long it took to shred velvet. Probably varies per deer, but 7min is impressive.

Opened this thread to post these pics. I don't think I've ever had pics like this. He had to be fresh out of velvet.
