Went up for my 3rd scouting trip for mule deer, and found two bucks, but could only get one on the camera. Hopefully I can find a few more areas - have two more weekends before our early rifle season starts.
If youre hunting in a couple of weeks, the bucks will still be in velvet.
And use caution because the velvet makes them look bigger than they really are.
As far as damaging the velvet, it can be repaired but even keeping it on can be a challenge too.
Here is a helpful link - <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.ehow.com/how_6086064_preserve-velvet-deer-antlers.html\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href);return false;\">http://www.ehow.com/how_6086064_preserv ... tlers.html</a><!-- m -->
I know many guys strip the velvet and then have the antlers stained back to a natural color
Give Rocky Mountain Head Hunters a call, he deals with that stuff all the time
