Wild Bill Bucks · July 9, 2012, 12:42 PM

Last night I saw 7 Bucks running together, out behind my house. The strange part is that they all had racks, and not a sign of velvet. The biggest rack was an 18 point, and the smallest was an 8 point.

The question is: Do you think the winter was so mild, that they did not shed, or do you think that these are new racks, that they have rubbed the velvet off of this quick? I haven't noticed any rubs around the woods yet, and these racks did not have any stringers of velvet, like is normal to see on newly rubbed racks. I saw these deer at a distance of 50 yards, and watched them through my binoculars for 10 minutes or so.

Am I crazy to think that the bucks should be growing NEW racks right now?
