That is an awesome pic! What are the odds of that happening in front of a camera at that exact moment? Thanks for sharing!

Wow....Awesome pic!

Never in my life have I even HEARD of that much blood from rubbing off velvet! He looks wore out, but I guarantee you he feels a lot better.

Maxi Pad? lol

Looks kinda like he got a little too aggressive rubbing off the velvet. Maybe he had mistaken a barbed wire fence for a sapling.[&:]

That is incredible! Thanks for sharing!

bucks in mo still havent come out of velvet yet but are starting to a little.

That is abnormal. Usually the velvet 'dries up' after the antlers harden from the release of testosterone into the buck's body signalling the actual beginning of a buck to be ready for the rut. For whatever reason, he seems to have prematurely removed the velvet, since the blood flow into the antlers should have stopped and the velvet would have come off gradually. There is a small amount of blood left behind naturally, but not normally like this.

Awesome pic! We really have had some once in a lifetime pics this year from the trail cams.. that is an old buck ..... nice trophy

Now thats a fine public land buck right there!!! Nice trail cam photo... The only thing that sucks, is you might not ever see him again
