Alright guys, the bucks have had a little time to start growing their antlers for this year. Let's see your pics from this spring.

I seen these two bucks tonight.

Wow--those bucks are way ahead of what I've been seeing.

Nice find!

Not sure where you guys are at that are seeing that much bone. But it's not here in my little town of Elko NV! Our bucks, from what I've seen are about 2-3 weeks behind what they were last year!
