For anybody who questions why the buck is already hard horned:
Go to www.Bing.com and search "when whitetail bucks lose their velvet" and click on the first result by Buck Management. This is from the bottom of the article: "And when I say velvet is lost fast, I mean fast. Velvet can be shed with antlers completely rubbed within a day or two. In fact, I’ve seen a buck with no sign of shedding velvet that was completely rubbed clean within 22 hours!"
Way to go guys...Awesome buck!
