Is this guy in velvet already?

OK, All of the forums that I post on seem to think this buck is in velvet. Here is the full set of him. What do you guys think?

Hmm. It's really hard to tell, but I don't think so. The white tips give it away that it's solid bone in the one pic.

Boy thats a tuffy. They look like they do have velvet. Which is uncommon but it is documented. Injuries, Doe with horns, Half male female. It's possible.

Agree with Ridge Runner. Blown up you can see where the antlers are just broken off.

Also, why start a topic if you are just going to pull the pictures a couple days later?
