I like big dark, black hard horns! Velvet bucks are the prettiest, but to kill one, I want his horns DARK!

Is purdier an adjective ?
I like velvet too, unfortunatly currently I don't hunt any seasons that allow me to take one still in the velvet, & if I did, I fear I'd just screw it up by rubbing the velvet off while getting it out.

I definatly like the bucks that are in velvet. I agree that they are a whole lot prettier or (purdier). How would it be to have a monster hangin on your wall when he is in the velvet. WOW i am getting excited just thinking about it. Velvet all the way!!

Velvet is alot of work to take care of. After I get a few more big bucks on the wall I might start looking for one in velvet but until then I'm looking for dark hard horns with ivory tips.

Boy do I love the deer in velvet! We see lots of nice bucks in velvet during elk season. Someday I'd sure like to get a wallhanger (who wouldn't!?) because they sure are purdy!

VELVET BUCKS ARE PRIME

Velvet antlers are nice but I sure don't care for the pencil necks and moth-eaten looking capes that go with them. I vote for early November as the prime time for a mule deer buck looking his best.

I like em just about any way they come. That's whats neatest about mule deer IMO. All different shapes, colors, configurations, character and sizes.

Velvet bucks are awesome though.

Velvet is nice, but I prefer dark bone, thick necks and grey coats.

I dont like velvet at all! Plus the animal is not in its prime shape and the cape is usually pretty damn uuuuuugly! I have shot bucks in velvet, peeled it off and stained the antlers. Like that big a$$ buck that Wayne Zaft shot. It was an ugly mo-fo until he ripped all of that nasty looking crap off of it. Now it is b-uteefull.

I'm with polarbear! I love dark horns! A buddies dad shot a REAL NICE 4 point in Montana one year that had flat black horns. It was awesome looking!
