My wife and I were sitting out on the patio last evening enjoying a rare nice evening when it wasn't windy or raining, or both.
Three adult whitetail deer walked across the lawn about 50 feet in front of us. One was a buck with his antlers fully grown but still in velvet. Saw another buck same way night before last.
Having been around deer for years, and having shot several dozen over the years, I can't recall ever seeing any new antlers this early. I've always thought deer growing their antlers was more a late July and August thing. Does anyone know more about it than I do?
