He’s looking angry.

Rubbed all the hair off getting rid of that itchy velvet!

I'd call him war paint!

I call him Spike....after what Charles Bronson called the white buffalo in the movie...I think he called him "White Spike"

That’s a cool looking buck. Hopefully he survives. Be cool to see what his rack turns into. But those little 3rr/4th points aren’t doing him any favors lol

They have started on the wetside also.

Interesting, seems rather early. I'm seeing heavy velvet in the high country, as usual.

He was dorky, but impressive. Wish I had a pic of him with his head turned. His right side had three points on it, but everything was growing straight up over there. The other side had 4 pts with nice forks. Would've harvested him if it was next weekend instead of last.

Good to see, I'm just not a fan of hunting velvet.

A animal in velvet is the worst case scenario to me. Nothing worse then a rack in velvet. I always wonder when I see a dead deer in velvet how cool it probably would have been in a month. But I wouldn’t pass one up either lol

I hear ya! My big buck probably shed his velvet within 24 hours of my getting him. I was so glad!

Saw a nice hard horned 3 point on JBLM last week.

Saw a bachelor herd with 4 bucks today, one a good 4x3 all still in full velvet. The three bucks at my house also in full velvet still. These are blacktail.

Apologize for the quality, long range, short lens and cropped. Smaller buck has velvet hanging, bigger on still covered

teal101 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2022, 08:51:48 AM »

All the smaller bucks still have velvet, this guy is hard horned though.

Pegasus · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2022, 12:15:52 PM »

Our local buck(blacktail) lost his velvet a week ago. Surprisingly he lost it completely within 24 hours.

This wide mulie was in full velvet along the Pullman Highway south of SpokaVegas.

I would like to find him in about 3 days. Velvet or not I'm throwing sticks at that sumbitch.

not a deer obviously, but still a cool capture. This was on the 15th

nwwanderer · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2022, 06:22:13 AM »

Five this AM, two shiny, three fuzzy. Always surprised how fast they get it off!
