Great bull, crazy he is still in velvet. any thing look wrong with his nuts?
My neighbor seen a buck a few houses down last week that was still in velvet too? He said it looked normal and had a decent typical rack.

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-13 AT 10:27AM (MST)[p]No, the testicles were normal as far as I could tell. I talked to a Wyoming wildlife biologist and he suggested the same thing also. He said that it is more common in deer. The other thing he said it might be is a tumor in the pituitary gland or possibly he had both male and female sex organs. ie. the ovaries did not fully develop. Not sure what it is but it is a trophy of a lifetime as far as I am concerned. I have never seen one like this in October before, much less have an opportunity to actually harvest one. The taxidermist I took it to said that in 20 years and thousands of elk mounts he has never seen one in full velvet.

I seen 2 PISSCUTTER Bucks this evening at 10,000 ft that were together & Both were Full Velvet!
I see quite a few Bucks in the Book Cliffs that are Full velvet late in to the year,but South Slopers?
I used to know of places worth Hiking in to for Elk & Deer!
Thanks to Illegal Bastards & the USFS not enforcing Rules you can Zing in to them Places on Wheelers now & not see a Damn thing!
But by GAWD it don't take long for them U-Tards to get there with all the Unethical BS and the New Technology!

No, it just looked like he was a little emaciated. Maybe its the angle the of the picture or the way he is laying. Still a great bull.
