Forgot to mention: When I was cleaning up the antlers some to take the pics, they seemed "dirty."

when I examined them, it appeared the "dark" stuff was left might be "velvet".

There were areas of really dark, kinda "hairy" junk in streaks...and I think it might be his horns are so convoluted that he couldn't rub off all the velvet...

Is that possible?

Nice antlers, Dave - almost all of mine over the years have been odd ones in one way or another, so it really looks fine to me - LOL.

Dave, I am so happy for you!

I know I haven't exactly been very "present" lately (give me a break, I'm gallivanting around New Zealand with the boy!), but I've thought of you and the rest of the tradgangers often.

Good luck eating all of that deer, I hope you'll have some room in the freezer/motivation to show me around the woods when I get back stateside next fall. Anyway, thanks for sharing the link and the story, I was so glad to hear it.

Cheers!

Great job.
I love two deer days.

Well, I had some of that venison yesterday with Doc and it was great. He was kind enough to share some of it with me the morning after climbing all over side of 1100 foot slope the day before.

Thanks again for a fun weekend and great hospitality.

Hey Doc, congratulations on a great hunt, and reconnecting with your soul in the woods. Sometimes I forget how much I need to get out into country without people or signs of them present, to slow down and drink it in the way you described. You did an excellent job of portryaing what I am sure many of us feel. You are a gifted storyteller, perhaps you should try writing ( or may be you have).
