Post by: meatwhack on July 29, 2019, 08:06:19 AM: Bulls are pretty much done growing now and will be stripping velvet usually within a couple weeks. They’re about a month ahead of deer.

I know imagine how cool he would have looked out of velvet! I guess they had to get him before someone else?

:yeah: Anybody know what the going price is for a tag like that? I’d imagine it’s quite spendy.
