CouesFanatic Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Last weekend about 1 out of 10 were in velvet. I'm guessing by Friday most all of them will be rubbed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Nice! I think your odds of finding a buck like that in velvet are pretty slim. Did you post a pic of that 102" last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomh Report post Posted October 5, 2021 I was in 35b on Saturday scouting for my daughter's youth hunt and I glassed up 7 bucks and every buck was in full velvet. Should be a fun hunt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted October 5, 2021 All the bucks I glassed up on Friday (including a 100" buck) were all still in velvet. But a couple were starting to rub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Thanks guys. This will be the earliest youth hunt I’ve done. Just wanted to know if I need to prepare for preserving velvet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mc68 Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Last weekend on the youth hunt every buck we saw was still in full velvet. We glassed probably 15 or so bucks. I would think they would start rubbing this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daryl_s Report post Posted October 5, 2021 I’ve been watching two WT bucks in central AZ for this weekend’s juniors hunt and they were both hard horned last time I saw them on September 24th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
