1st confirmed bone antler buck this evening. He is the first cleaned off I've seen so far. 2 days ago he had velvet. A few days behind schedule here....but I expect most all will be rubbed off by end of this coming week.

Wow! Generally we’ll still have some in velvet the first week or two of bow season.

Wanna Be,
The deer here are a few weeks ahead of your area.

Also, further east, along Georgia coast, by Labor Day they will be in pre-rut. Pre-rut here begins in mid to late September. We have no "lull" that folks talk about.

The lull is a myth.

Rarely see them clean until after Sept. 1 around here. Not uncommon to see them still in velvet up to a week into Sept.

Our archery season starts the second Saturday of Sept and on my side of the state we do still have some in velvet during that time. He’s on the complete opposite which is like another country, lol.
