Coming out of velvet

Here are some pictures of a buck coming out of velvet on the 23rd of August. Ohhh we're getting close.

Nice pics! Wish I had a trailcam out right now!

From my spotlight count it seems about 10% of them are out of velvet right now, cool pics

It just can't get here fast enough.

Cool!!! Did you shoot on Sat?

It's not the best pic. I took this last night with my 35MM and Fuji 800. I ran out of film, but by the time he finally saw me, he was less than 5 yards away. Talk about heart jumping out of your chest....

he has shed about 70% of his velvet

 

[DOUBLE LUNG]

That is awesome. Was he in town where you took the picture?

I've been watching him in a small set of timber about 1/2 mile from my house in DesMoines. I wish I would have had a pic from Monday night. I sat and watched 6 bucks eating grass & clover in the rain right off of MLK. It's torture seeing deer you know you can't hunt, but exciting to scout them nevertheless.
