Bucks Last Year vs This year

[RestoringtheGround]

I’m going to post a few pictures of some deer from last year and then what I believe to be the same deer this year. Last year velvet was still on the horns September 15th. I’m thinking we still have 30 days of growth left in most of these deer.

I’m very pleased with body size and antler growth this year. I’ve done about 20 acres of old field/early succession habitat work that is full of natives. I still have another 20 acres to do.

I have a few others that I’ll try to post later.
