growth

I spent the last two weeks hunting turkey in Ohio and Kansas and one thing I noticed is there is some great growth going on out there. While in Ohio we saw several nice bucks that had as much as 8 inches of growth going up. Also noticed that I didn't see very many doe at all. makes me wonder if some aren't already birthing fawns. What's everyone else seeing in their area?

I have seen both a lot of bucks and does in the past couple of days. But that does not mean anything because we have does that have little ones in September because our rut is so long. I am sure some are starting to drop and if not it wont be long.

I was out hunting this morning and seen buck on a foodplot. He had brow tines and about 6" of main beams going out. Kinda made me think about putting a few cams out. Haven't seen any young ones round yet.

Been seeing both bucks and does. Actually more than i saw last year.

havent seen much at all lately

Seeing plenty of bucks down here,more than usual.I guess it's from passing all of the little guys up.I've seen a few around the 8"-10" mark maybe bigger.Several around the 6" mark.I'll be posting some pics once I get my new trail cam.Just got word from the landowner next to my bro-in law and sisters place that the wild hogs have finally made it over here.He seen several of them last week on his farm along the white river.Would love to get another one of them for a bbq.

About 5" is the longest Ive saw so far. Antler growth always explodes in June here, to me one of the most exciting times of the year!

Actually sawa lot of deer in the fields this evening. Not close enough to see anything though...

Been seeing some with about 4-6" of growth. Saw a lil one Monday on the way to work so some are already dropping fawns here in MD.

Same here. I haven't seen any little ones yet but it seems like there are 2 times a year when I see the numbers of deer in the area getting hit. The first is a given. (The Rut) The second time of the year is when the doe's start dropping thier babies and in the past 2 weeks I have seen the numbers of deer hit on the road rising. Including a few small bucks.

sounds like I need to get the trail cams out

I just saw last night 2 nice velvet bucks at my feeder. Will try and get picts of them and post em up.

Seen my first fawn of the year around 3:00 this afternoon on the DC beltway. Mom and baby were on a power company rightaway. The little guy was wobbling at the knees. Couldn't have been but maybe a couple of hours old if that. I only seen 1 with her. Couldn't get any photos. Sorry
