Ga archery seasons open Sept 9th. Will be rare to see one still in velvet then. If there is it's always a very young buck with spikes or such.

Some breeding will occur here in late Sept, but peak breeding is mid to late Oct.

About 60 plus miles to the west of me most bucks won't be shed velvet by Labor Day.

Nov.11 for modern gun Mike, archery is Sept. 2....Got the pictured buck & 2 more to keep tabs on.

All 3 on farms where I trapped coyotes for the last 7 yrs, and it seems to be helping a lot.

Ours rub around the 15th of Sept. Been tracking it for the last 5 years and it's always the middle of sept.
