I killed a nice velvet buck in them this year during the velvet weekend.
I'm genuinely curious when I ask this, but what is the fascination with killing a velvet buck? Maybe fascination is not the way to word that, but interest. What is the interest?
I've seen where some states are opening specific seasons for velvet bucks, and it's something that I've never been able to understand. Why is a deer in velvet something that people want to hunt?
Again, I don't mean that question in any negative way, and I don't mean to get this discussion going a different direction. Just genuinely curious is all.

I'm not really interested in the velvet, but if La. opened an early season, I'd go just to get in the woods earlier with a better chance of killing a good buck before the pressure gets put on them.

I feel the same about velvet bucks. I think it’s the novelty of it more than anything.

Good question. In my case, it’s a couple of reasons. I would only kill a velvet buck that I would mount, and I will only mount mature bucks. So it’s not like I would kill a 1.5 or 2.5 yo buck in velvet. Second is that these sawtooths drop heavy in Sep, before MS archery season opens on Oct 1. It’s deer central in there in Sep and it’s pretty exciting anytime there are that many deer around all times of the day.
So the buck is at the taxidermist and I will hang his arse next to my few other mounts in my man cabin. To me, mounts are like photo’s; they remind me of the excitement of that particular hunt and harvest.
