Good question. NOT NORMALLY but weather patterns seem to be off. We have an early bow opener on 01 Oct in our zone and they are normally bare by then. They seemed late getting the antlers started this year so not sure if they will keep velvet longer. I just finished mowing the food plots for the second time this year, so that woul normally be it for the year but we have had 156mm of rain in June which normally has 80mm. Weeds were taller than me. May be doing a third cut in Aug if this continues.
