I usually hunt Bucks in Hungary at the beginning of may, and usually mature bucks are already without velvet. Sometime some young (fiatal, pronunced like fi�tal in magyar) still have velvet.
April is the period when the bucks scratch trophy on trees to eliminate velvet.

Hi all,

I have been invited to have a go for a buck in Suffolk when the buck season opens, but was curious as to when you expect the bucks to be out of velvet. I don't often stalk roe unaccompanied so knowledge is sketchy so the question may be entirely irrelevant.

All info greatly appreciated as I could arrange to go up a little later if it would be better.

Ta,
