    Default Finally no more velvet! HARD BONE
    Just got it all off in one night! Crazy how much the mass goes down once its off. Think he could still maybe hit 120?

    Nice looking deer.

    I'd say 110-120.

    Yea, I have seen them shedding the velvet too. Found several rubs this weekend and saw one little guy with 2/3 of his velvet stripped.

    Still in velvet here in PA but I'd imagine it's starting to dry, antler growth is done and they are what they are.

    Yep, usually right around Labor Day. By the 10th most will be shed, like Rob said, they are what they are now.
