That is an awesome whitetail my friend. I just got back from North Dakota. Gotta love hunting in August! We killed two opening night...the weather was great. I tried videoiong my buddy nate the next few nights and the heat and wind just kept the deer from moving too much...looks like it didnt bother that deer though!

Congrats!

Just a general question for everyone....

This is nice 8 with no doubt, but shouldn't there be some kinda of deduction for a buck in velve?
The velvet itself add's Circumference and some length to the tines....

Just curious. What's everyone's thoughts on this....

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

I dont think that you can get a velvet buck "officially" scored. In order for it to count for the record books i believe you have to strip it off.

That being said, the velvet really adds very little to the rack, maybe 3" or so....It does make it LOOK a lot bigger cause the velvet sticks out but when you put a tape around it, it flattens down and really doesnt add that much to the score...

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

Great looking deer!!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think P&Y allows antlers in velvet to be entered. B&C doesn't, and as you mentioned, requires the velvet to be stripped off before it can be officially scored...

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

very nice buck

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

Guys,

There is a seperate catagory for entering velvet deer. There is no way anybody would strip their velvet off that is for sure!

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

Congrats on a great deer .

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

Awesome buck... congrats...
Nice pics too.

RE: Pics of my 08 ND Archery Whitetail
 

This is correct for P&Y. B&C however requires the velvet to be stripped off. This poses a dilemma for really big monsteres shot in early season archery on occasion as B&C doesn't happen very often, especially in the archery world.
