Has anybody been able to see any drought effects on antler growth this year yet?
Thanks gwp4. It's good to hear some positive news. I hope you are right and there are some great bulls and bucks to chase thus fall.This should be a good antler year for much of the west. The winter was very mild allowing the animals to spend more energy in the spring on antlers rather than body recovery. The early spring also allowed for an earlier green up. What may have hurt is if the animals went into the fall in bad shape. I was out scouting over the weekend and where I was was lush and green. Most of the antler growth is done for the year. The dangerous cycle is if they don't go into the winter in great shape and we get a hard winter next year would be bad.
