Ever shot a buck in velvet?

[Superposed]

I've never hunted anywhere that started season (bow) so early. Are the bucks still in velvet here in September? Do you have a photo of a good buck you've taken in velvet?

I killed a 5 point in velvet several years ago on opening day of bow season, Sept. 9 I think. There was another buck with him in velvet also.

6 point in velvet

Could have, but not a QDM deer...small ones are usually the ones that are in great shooting range.

I got a nice 8-pt in velvet 9/16/2003 in Habersham County. He made a real nice mount. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics on this computer. I also got a 4-pt in velvet from that same stand 9/18/1997 (my first deer with a bow after 11 years of hunting) and missed another 4-pt in velvet opening weekend the following season. I've never seen a buck in velvet while hunting in Clarke or Greene County.
