Thread: The velvet is sprouting up. Pics?

I went out with @craigc to a private spot he hunts a bit. Saw plenty of deer, but all were either too far away or hinds with the possibility of fawns at foot meant we waited until almost dark before a target appeared.

A big bodied spiker with very hard velvet fed out into the open only 270yds from us. A quick standing rest against a manuka tree with the 284 saw him tumble down onto the track for an easy retrieve.
