Anybody have any recent buck photos showing antler growth? Here in PA I haven't seen a single buck pushing antlers yet. . . ###In April I even saw a few bucks with last years head-gear still on. ###Taking a roll of film to the developers tomorrow from my TrailCam; all I WANT is to see some antler growth!

On my last role, I could just barely see some nubs where antlers where starting to grow. ###I was also hoping to see some antlers, but all I saw was about 3 or 4 deer with inch long nubs where they were just starting. ###It shouldn't be too much longer before the antlers will be visible.

You can see one of the deer with antlers starting if you look closely here:

I had some pictures taken about 2 weeks ago in Cumberland Co., PA that have two bucks in them with new antler growth. ###Looked to be just a couple inches on both deer.

Hey Todd!

Yes it won't be long and we'll have nice pics of velvet clad deer!

I'm not making out very well on the Snake pics. Cam is setup but nothing yet.

Howd you make out with that piece of land?

For all intense purposes the land is ours for leasing. ###We just want to make sure there's a legal right or way written into the lease agreement.

No snakes with new antler growth????

Getting ready for the Memorial Day beach-goer influx in Jersey Shore?? ###;)

Snakes with antler growth - Of Course. What? You don't get any of that in the BIG CITY? How can you stand it.

The influx to the Shores of Pine Creek starts in a couple of days. I can smell the marshmellows now! The last day of Turkey season on Sat outta be real interesting. Glad I'm done.

LET THE GROWTH BEGIN!! I'm really looking forward to the deer in velvet pics. This will be my first year with a pre-season trailcam and I'm hoping I'll get an eyeful from my hunting area.

About a week ago we were hunting turkey in the North Kaibab in AZ. After rounding a curve we were treated to the sight of a huge Elk with a 6X6 rack in velvet. We scrambled for our cameras but he didnt wait around for his pic to be taken. What a sight. Beautiful sight I will not soon forget. ### ### ###Fubar
