Scanned at last : Sept 10 buck
It took long enough, but I finally got a picture scanned of this year's buck. I shot it September 10 and about half of the bucks at that time were still in velvet.

Wow! That is a very nice buck, you should be proud! Killing a buck in partial velvet is alot of people's goal, they look good on the wall.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks guys.
Jred, I believe he weighed about 140 lb dressed. Our whitetails west of the Rockies aren't as big as the brutes they get out on the prairies.
TxCowboy, I agree 100%; antlers in velvet look neat. This guy was still fully in velvet but the other buck he was travelling with was completely rubbed.

canuck that is a nice buck, I have always dreamed of getting one in velvet, but it seems they shed their velvet in my area before bow opens.
