It's very early, but anyone have bucks starting to shed velvet... Someone told me they saw one or two hard horned... I thought sure you did... Just now my son sent me a pic of a young buck in his yard... Looks like velvet might be gone......

Yeah, hard to tell in that photo cause velvet in daylight looks pretty light in color, but you know it that I'll be watching out for hard antlers. Usually it doesn't happen around my neck of the woods until right around the third week of September.

Denny... I'm sure it's just the pic and he still has velvet, as like your area, it's mid Sept. when they start to shed around here...
