I saw the big neighborhood buck I posted last year a couple nights ago, didn't have a camera but he's looking great this year. Big old pot bellied son of a gun. I'll keep a camera in the truck and try to get some soon.
I'd never heard the term "hats are popping" till now..?
Must be a western thang?
I've seen a couple elk already with some antler growth (velvet), but didnt have camera. I'll keep my eyes peeled from now on and try and capture some nice ones on film.
