Yep , seen some on our trail cams that have started the trophy process. Is that a skull in between those two deer on the ground..Probrably not, but sure looks like it...optical illusion I guess..

As far as telling what the buck is going to have as far as heard gear. Around July you can get a pretty good idea.

These pictures were taken in July.

Good eye, I moved it a little to give the pics a little something extra. Theres a turkey in the background to the left.

Last year I started seeing them really good in May. As far as antler growth I posted a buck last year that looked to be a 6 point in late July but by the time he had shed had turned into an eight and put on probably 15 more inches of antler.
