Did he poach?

My wife (a teacher) had a 7th gradestudent show her pictures friday of a nice 14 point buck he says he took opening day of rifle season (last wednesday). However she noticed this buck still had some velvet on its antlers...not a lot...but some. I find it extremely odd that this deer would still have velvet. Has anyone ever seen heard of a buck with velvet in Kansas the last week of november? Opinions please...

Vary rarely but i have seen it! Not very much on it though. I dont think he poached, but i don't know the guy either.

Don't know 'bout Kansas, but yes I have seen it in Indiana! Last day of gun season last year I saw a huge deer in the back of a truck atBassProShops that was in FULL velvet.I'dsay it wasin mid December or so.

they can keep their velvet because of an injury.

My best friend shot a buck 3 weeks ago with velvet hanging off the antlers.

I shot a deer with my bow on October 7 with velvet still on. I never found it because of the rain but it was 17 yards so I could tell
