Any clean roebucks seen yet?

[tiny tim]

Has anyone seen any rubbing yet? They appear to be cleaning off earlier each year, I wonder when the first true clean one will be reported?

Absolutely nothing close to cleaning yet from the 20+ i'm seeing on the cameras.

A bit early for even the oldest bucks, but, not a long way off for the old ones.. 3 more weeks for the proper old ones, but won’t be coloured by then
