Jeramie Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I saw a little buck yesterday. Actually he wasn't that small but he was really young. He was still 100% covered. We have had COLD weather recently so they should start to rub it off soon. This may be the first year I get a chance at a Velvet buck! Typically they are slick by now. With season only a couple of weeks away (Oct 1st) this may become a reality... Anyone else seeing Velvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Re: Still sporting Velvet...... Yep,I got a picture last week of a nice buck still completely covered.I did find a few small rubs though,so most of them will probably have it stripped off by the 1st.

VTbowman Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Re: Still sporting Velvet...... My trail cam has both slick and velvet bucks on it as of the 13th. The really young spikes are still in velvet and the bigger bucks looked clean. I believe they even rub in order of dominance. LOL Looks like it anyways...

Covehnter Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Re: Still sporting Velvet...... I got alot of pics of a 3.5 yr old 7 point on the trail cam the week before our season came in (sept 9th) the first several he is in full velvet, the next evening you can see bare spots in front of his brows, then i've got 15-20 of him with the velvet hanging down beside his eyes, the last 20-30 is him w/ clean bloody antlers. . . . pretty neat sequence.

wtnhunt Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Re: Still sporting Velvet...... Last pics we got the the last buck pic was taken Saturday and he was still in velvet. Got a decent 8 pointer still in velvet that got his pic made Wednesday. He was still in velvet. Our season opens this Saturday. If I see him with the bow, think I am going to have to take a shot on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
