they don`t really do anything for me either.
unfortunately for the most part, in order to hunt bucks in the early season here. you have to take velvet at times.
i`m kind of a weirdo to the norm anyway, i would prefer to take a perfect symmetrical antlered buck over anon typical.
i know i know, like i said i`m weird that way.
so to me velvet is just one more of the ab-normalcies in a rack.
not to mention the extra care involved in handling and processingthem to keep the velvet look.
