Justin, Marko said on the one he killed a couple years ago that he shot it in velvet because he couldnt risk him breaking an antler in the rut, said he had done it before.

Of course shoot them early. But they don't always cooperate!

It is not just the rut you have to worry about, these multi-pointed deer will a lot of times break some stuff off just rubbing out! Not to mention that deer have been known to fever up and die upon rubbing out!!! I'd have killed him the 1st minute of legal shooting light on the first broad side look he gave me....no doubt! LOL



High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I guess if I were a deer and had that much headgear I would procrastinate too. But can't say I've ever seen any in my hood that were still in velvet once season opened.

It is fairly common to see older mature bucks and real young bucks still in velvet into October with South Texas bucks. Just think about how much antler he had to grow and the short time to do it. Say early May till late Sept. He grew 300" of antler in 150 or so days. That is an astounding number at 2" per day. Antler is the second fastest growing tissue known to man with cancer being the fastest I believe. You could see the change over a few days easily on that buck.

I gotcha, I've never done much early season hunting in STX. 2"/day is a lot & those two had a lot of area to spread it out over.
