I watch the same 4 or 5 bucks come to eat at least 5 days a week. They are not scared of me just want there distance. I can tell you almost to the minute when they will show up. Been gone for 3 days now. Just showed up this eav look totally different. all the red is gone they are a very dark gray. Now they are shy acting jumpy they walk around each other with extra caution. They run at the smaller ones and chase them away. Soon I will not see them on a daily basis, because things are a changing. Now the antlers will stop growing and the skin will shed then we can see what they have for real.

Bdotson, you are spot on this! Time of the year right now that things start to kick in and velvet begins to slowly slake off. It is always neat to watch them spar and separate out of bachelor groups getting ready for breeding and determine who's dominate.

I love this time of year, but just like last year, I'm certain my buck is about to up and vanish like a fart in the wind.

And to my knowledge, I have no pics of him finished out this year. He didn't hit feeders, though I saw him live a couple times very close to my feeder.

And just as I thought all the velvet is now gone from the hard horns in less than one week. I now see a few different deer and in different numbers. I guess things are just changing..
