Well, the buck that I thought might be hard horn over night has not shed any more than showing two antler tips through pealing velvet. Saw him this morning in low light and the velvet is still cracked on the main beams. I did see the first hard horn Saturday morning, but too dark so no pics. All others that I've seen in the last few days are still in full velvet. We mowed a lot of pasture behind the house a few days ago and so far the deer aren't too happy about it. Yesterday morning in good camera light I watched two older bucks dash from cover on one side of the pasture to the cover on the other side. They're missing the cover that the tall grass and weeds provided and, aside from the fact that they didn't stop for pictures, I'm already missing the green backdrop.
