    The deer on my cameras are all starting to loose their summer coats, so I'm guessing it should be on my next card pull.

    Had one starting to rub of his time tips about 1.5 weeks ago, just checked the camera yesterday and he made no progress in 17 days. All others still have full velvet as far as I have seen. Stubborn NY deer

    Everything I'm seeing on mine is still in full velvet. I have 5-6 bucks on my cameras, but nothing bigger than a small six. I'm hoping my second hunting spot comes through.
