I had 160, 180 and 170 before I realized you posted already. ALL great bucks. I figured G but Not a highjack. Much more fun to look at bucks taken by "REAL" people doing "REAL" hunting. They need to quit using their no fences here slogan. I thought it eas good when they started but its getting old now, especially since Cameron is gone. At least he knew how to hunt without an outfitter on private ground. Try public land hunting during general seasons and see how many of those you take without the aid of a guide.
Phool, The "Velvet kit" that he refered to consisted of a hypodermic needle/syringe, a paint brush and a bottle of velvet tan. They obviously didn't spend more than 20 seconds on the subject but from what I saw he was doing things the right way. I use the same product and it can be very time consuming. You need to inject the tips with the liquid and force all of the blood out through the base of the antler. It will be finished when the liquid comes out clear. This can take up to an hour sometimes. I then paint a heavy coat of the same liquid onto the outside of the antlers and let it hang upside down for 2-3 days. Then you rinse it off and use a soft bristle brush and light compressed air to fluff the velvet back up.I recommend that anyone going on an August archery hunt or even early Sept stop by your local taxidermists shop and pick up these supplies. Time is of the essence with soft velvet.
