Just wondering when you montana boys see the velvet come off your mule deer? 1st or 2nd week of september usually? My buddy and I are disagreeing over it! Lol
 
There may be a few the first week, but mainly the velvet comes off in the second and third week. I saw a nice bull last weekend that has already lost his velvet.
 
Some Muleys will be shedding by the first of Sept.
I've seen bucks with velvet and without velvet the first week in
Sept and everywhere in between.
 
Seems like a pretty big window they can strip them in. I looked at thirty or so bucks tonight, and two were hard horned, both 140 type bucks.
