Same exact day as last year. 70% of bucks on cam this morning were hard-horned.

Seems early , but guess not if it happened last year at this time. Not sure about my lease but they are still in velvet in Parker county.

We are still all in velvet around here. I suspect that will change in the next week or so.

Down South we would still see bucks in velvet in mid september.

All still velvet here as well. Usually start seeing antler first week of September. Last year had one buck hang on until October

Drought has really stressed them two years in a row, I wonder if that factors. Had to start haying cattle last week. There’s not much to eat. I had 19 deer in one pic at one of my feeders the other morning. Mills county.

I hear that. We've had two ponds go dry in the last two weeks and two others are down to less than a foot of water. Not a lot of green left on the landscape

My guys are still fuzzy headed, I'll be checking cameras this week.

Still velvet here but I always say Labor Day and it’s always close.

All the boys are still in velvet here but I saw this first evidence of change this evening. Just before dark, three bucks were feeding below the house but I noticed a fourth shadow back in some mesquites...it was one of the larger boys and he was tentatively starting to rub. I expect the others to follow suit rapidly.

1st pic for me as well, the 26th. The deer with his head down you can see his velvet is nearly white, he will be hard horned soon.

Still in velvet in my area, Palo Pinto county

Just happened to us yesterday too. Sitting with about 70% in velvet, but the change has started

Still soft in Hall County. Won't be long though, me thinks...

Still in velvet, in Stephens County, this past weekend.

Saw a big one yesterday while watching the doves that was hard horned. His three running buddies were still in velvet.

First one rubbed out. Looks like overnight or early this morning, antlers still red.

Still velvet at home place, but they are done growing think they will shed soon.
