    No hard horned on my cameras yet. I'm sure by my next card pull there will be some bone showing. I put my best camera where I think Splitter will show. I can't wait to see him hard horned.
    I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.

    All bucks on the property I hunt are still full velvet. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get a nice one in velvet this year. I've always wanted to get a velvet buck for some reason.

    Non here yet. I do see a guy post one on Facebook via coverts page. It was a 110-120in buck in ky completely clean. That's when you know season is here and gets me thinking about how far behind I am. lol

    KY Season opens right around labor day weekend so I guessing it should be time for them to start cleaning up their racks for the big show.

    Haven't even seen any bucks on the cams this year. Not many does either. Getting a little discouraged. Last year we saw all kinds of deer. Not sure why we are not seeing much. We haven't been in the woods Baer as much as last year. Basically just to check cams and do a little trimming. Hopefully we will start seeing them soon.
