Would you shoot a buck in velvet?
Saw a really nice buck, probably 170 class and the first non-typical I have seen on my property. He' s still in velvet and the KY season opens in less than two weeks. Just wondering your opinions on shooting one while still in velvet. Thanks.

Absolutely, I would love to take a buck in velvet but by the time our season opens they are shed off. You won' t be able to score it but that isn' t a big concern for me. If you want it scored and in the book don' t do it.

TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True, you can' t officially score it with the velvet, but who cares. Get the pictures, then take off the velvet, and score it.....if the score matters to you!!!!
I say, if he walks up on you in velvet, don' t think twice about coming to full draw.

Mez......P&Y has seperate entries for velvet animals. I would love to get one......and actually will be hunting mule deer in velvet next week. I think it would be a neat addition to a trophy room to have a nice buck in velvet.
I' d shoot him in a heartbeat !!

I' d much prefer ANY buck in velvet, it looks really cool to me.
It was a goal of mine for some time, and I finally coneccted last 9/1 in DE. Hopefully I can do the same thing this coming Monday, with one big enough for the wall. Velvet racks make an awesome mount, I' ll be trying my best. [8D]

In a heart beat! I have never seen a buck in velvet in season, but this year they are opening the season in the beginning of Sept. instead of Oct., I may finally get my chance.
