I saw what is going to be a real real nice one the other day at work...He was already 1-2" wider than his ears with real good brow tines...He should be well over 20" wide when he is done growing

 

[GSPOTTER]

I saw 2 bucks that had browtines and were just starting G2s several days ago.

Well I saw at least 6 great bucks in WEST PATERSON, no hunting allowed, all 6 had already grown great antlers, I counted 4 with 8 points, and 2 with 6 points, the 8 pointers already past there ears, and all about 200lbs.

Biggest one i have a pic of on the recent film looks like he's just gonna start branching off. He's only got maybe a 6 ot 7 inch long hrack growing. He'll prob end up being a small 4 or 5 point basket rack. I also have a 7" spike as well. Nothing bigger as of yet. Plenty of fat doe

btw...

Isnt the usual groth for bucks around june/july like 1/2 to 3/4" a day? And then like the end of august they are pretty much finished?

 

[BOWHUNTERCOP]

Yes thats normal growth

I saw a good buck this morning on my way to meet Woj. It was on Green Pond Rd in Rockaway right near where I saw the dead one last week. It's antlers were already out past it's ears with the brow tines the only split so far... I also saw two more dead bucks today..[sad]

saw a buck last night in kenilworth that is going to be a monster!! i am assuming it is one of the three i saw often last year and i was fishing last night near black brook park and he came out - so i walked over and was within 10 yards (did not have a camera) rack is already a foot off his head and brow tines have to 6-7 inches already!!!!

I saw a nice dead velvet 6 pointer along Route 80 yesterday... out near the Water Gap.

 

[Bambis Only]

I've only seen one so far. Just above his ears. Nothing special but you cant eat bone right? The cameras and treestands will be up this weekend.

 

[TITUS]

also was driving in readington yesterday and saw a completely white deer- only bark spots on the body where around the eyes and glands- awesome site and even the wife was impressed (or acted like she cared)

 

[Bambis Only]

If you want to see monsters early go to Garret Mountain in West Paterson.

The big bucks are in Bambis Only's imagination.
