Psychozar Report post Posted July 25, 2004 Howdy, My name is Mark. I reside in Cottonwood AZ. I was born and raised in Flagstaff. Anyhow , I moved to Cottonwood 10 years ago. I began hunting archery in the surrounding areas since then. I went scouting in a newly discovered "honeyhole" I discovered this January. We spotted a couple of nice bucks. The larger buck was very impressive. I was wondering if anyone knows at what approximate stage whitetails antlers are in at this particular point in time? Thanks in advance for any help. Sincerely, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ernesto C Report post Posted July 25, 2004 Mark welcome!! to CWT.com About your question all I can say is that bucks still have a little more that two months of antler growth so it looks like you alrady find a monster. God bless you in the chase of your trophy,take care and again,welcome. Ernesto C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Mark, welcome to the site. Hope you like Ctwd, I grew up there, now I live in Camp Verde. On Thursday morning I saw 4 Coues bucks. 3 of them had growth up the their G2's and one of them is going to be a super buck. He had fantastic eyeguards great height on his G2's already and was splitting on his G3 and beam. Got me in the archery hunting mode real quick! I can't wait for season. I'd say he's destined to be 95"+ quite easily, a trophy in my book. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do. Josh Epperson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psychozar Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks guys, The reason for my question is that the main beam seemed rather long for not having a G3 that I could distinguish. I am an admitted greenhorn. Please excuse my ignorance. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAM Report post Posted July 26, 2004 I just got a photo back from one of my trail cameras on Saturday. The picture was stamped with July 10th as the date. The buck has 3 very defined points (not including eye gaurd) on his right side and at least two points on his left (I can't see any more from the angle). I don't think this will be a very large buck but as of July 10th he was at least a 3x2. The buck also came into the tank at about 11am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
