Question
Hey Grant I asked you a Question about my deer that was still in velvet through out the rut. The deer had no sign of a injury to the testicals. I was woundering if this type of deer is rare and if you had seen one for yourself? I was also woundering if the problem with the testicals effected the meat at all? Keep you the great work on your YouTube Chanel it is very entertain and very helpful, cant wait for the next video!

Tanner,

Bucks that have velvet covered antlers during the rut are rare!  I have seen a few other hunters have harvested. I’ve never tagged one.  

You may watch our show at http://www.GrowingDeer.com as there is much more information there than on our YouTube channel.

Enjoy creation,
