EAS Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Hey guys, I pulled my camera cards today and wanted to see if anyone else thinks the antler growth on mule deer seems a little late compared to last year at this time? I have the same deer on cam and I'm comparing last year and this years pics week by week and it just seems a little behind... Or is it just me? Post up some muley growth for fun anyway!

EAS Report post Posted August 2, 2015 I'm wondering if opening day for archery will be enough time for full velvet growth potential? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EAS Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Last year same buck in velvet, and a hard horn January pic... Some of you might remember me posting my chase last year on this buck, but I just couldn't get it done. I'd hate to smoke him too early when he still has 10 or 20 inches left to grow!

EAS Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Man, what a pig. When was last year's velvet pic taken? That was 8/11/14... So I'll check pics of him again before season opens this year... With hopes that he will be grown closer to potential! I'm having thoughts of waiting for the last 2 weeks of the Archery hunt to go after him, but don't want to push my luck and miss him again this season. Looks like the last week of the archery hunt is going into the dark/new moon so that might be a great time to catch them moving a little more in the day... Thoughts?

FirstBlood Report post Posted August 3, 2015 I'm actually thinking its a different deer,,,, Look at forehead patch.... One is going down to a point other is going up... Looks like possible Father/son/brother/cousin....maybe...?? Bottom line you get a shot take it...Cause I will and so will many others..."Good job on the family photos' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
