    My younger brother was fortunate enough to get a buck this past year. And it still had its velvet on the tips? Has anyone ever seen that before?

    Wow. What state?

    Looks cool. I'd be sure that the taxidermist kept the velvet on!

    He probably didn't rub it off but I've never seen it before. I've only been hunting for 5 years so I'm sure someone has just not me.

    Just didn't rub it off. Not an aggressive deer likely. Have seen it before but not all that common.

    One year during Wisconsin rifle season a guy in are group shot a 7 pointer with full velvet still in late November. When he gutted it it didn't have any nuts so we don't know if he was injured or ripped them off on barb wire or what but that was pretty crazy.
