Buck in velvet

[fasteddie]

I was in Henrietta yesterday looking fo some Geo-Caches in a couple of parks . On one trail , I saw a doe and a fairly good sixe fawn . As I was walking along another trail , I saw a doe standing less than 30 yards away . I made a few bleat calls and then noticed a buck laying on the ground a few feet from the doe . It was at least an 8 pointer in velvet . I had never seen a buck in velvet my whole life . I tried to take a picture with my phone but a lot of brush was in the way . I tried to sneak up but the buck stood up and started to slowly move away so I left them alone . It was neat to finally see a Velvet Buck in person rather than on camera .

Bucks look different in velvet. I've seen several, in my travels through the counties. Two nice ones in a soybean field next to the highway yesterday.  I thought the first one had. A big rack until I viewed the second, WOW.

Yeah its cool. Seeing some nice ones but they always look bigger in velvet!
