The healthier the buck the longer they hold


Just the opposite with our mule deer. Big old robust bucks drop in Feb and the wimpy little guys might hang onto theirs into April

Had a group of four 4by's just behind the house this morning. Cookie ran out to get a couple images of the largest. Did not get close enough for a portrait, but did hit the shutter a couple times. Not one we had seen around here before. Other three have been regulars, and I can still see them bedded out the back door. A bit nippy out, and they all savoring some sunshine in a spot out of the wind.

Have seen elk here still carrying in early May, and some images from Wy feed grounds with both hard and branch velvets in the same frame.
