Congratulations on a real fine buck!

Maybe you can explain something to me - why a velvet buck? What is the allure of taking a buck in velvet when if you wait another month it will be burnished bone? I guess I am a little slow, but I just don't get it. Why velvet?

I hope to get out west to chase mule deer and my target time is AFTER they loose the velvet. Is there something "special" about a velet buck that I am just missing?

Again, congratulations on a great buck.

Best Regards,

JMC

Very nice buck in velvet. The trees look like hardwoods, and the terrain pretty flat, was that what you remember. Is it normal for bucks to still be in velvet in Sept. that far north?

A great trip by all accounts, Jim, and you never once whined about the mosquitoes! That buck has a unique rack..a story-teller .
