Blacktail Buck Velvet Watch continues…
The latest installment of Blacktail encounters from Northern California….
This Doe had me BUSTED…

Then a nice buck stuck his head out…

Then the BIG Guy stepped out…

but not for long….

I’ ll see them again soon I hope.



Man, that guy is a toad! I hope you can drop him this fall – or at least get some good photos of him full grown. This should be a whopper! Heck, it’s already a dandy of a buck!
I’m guessing Northern Cal starts antler growth a little earlier than we do? I don’t know that…it just seems that there is no way a buck would have that much horn showing already over here! That’s awesome. I look forward to more photos!

Beautiful buck boss, good luck ground checking him this summer.
Or you could set him aside for me, yeah that’s the best idea.

Hey John!
Is that in your neck of the wood? You’ll be ready to stick an arrow in that big boy in less than two months!
It’ll be here before we know it!
