    Velvet Dreams

    Antler growth is looking pretty good thus far this year.

    I certainly have my thoughts on the age and rough numbers on that bull.
    What are your thoughts?

    Always nice to see your photography on this site.

    This guy is a young bull just coming into his own. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he develops into this year and in the years to come. Pretty much a month more growth left from the time I took these photos. Hope I can get a look at him again but hard horned.

    My take.....
    4 to 5 year old bull with all the hallmarks to be a champion.
    Healthy bull.

    And you got to help a brother out by not calling animals that have antlers by stating horns.
    Just sayin.

    Language changes all the time Bra Hard horned has been a term hunters have used for decades to describe fully developed antlers. Time to get with the times.

    This is why the term 'hard horned' is used. In velvet, antlers are rather soft. This muley buck I photographed last week learned this the hard way.

    I enjoy your photos. How close are you getting or what size of zoom lens are you using.( I don’t know the proper camera terms)
    It’s more enjoyable looking at these threads compared to the political ones.
