Last summer's scouting and antler progression

Unread postby moondoondude » Sun May 13, 2012 10:41 am

Typically I start checking the herd out in late April every year - well this year I am getting a late start and I won't be able to check them out until late May or early June. I am pretty excited to check things out and take some pictures. Here are some of last summer's buck from early May until right before they shed velvet - all in chronological order.

Looks like some pretty exclusive property.

Nice bucks, very nice.
