Mule Deer Buck

[YumaOutdoorsman]

Got a cool photo of an Arizona mule deer buck bedded down, still in full velvet. Should be stripping it any day.

i sure thought the velvet would be off by now. Is that common for Arizona?

This is in the southwest portion of Arizona. The deer in Kaibab/Strip and mountains tend to be a little ahead of the desert bucks. Our deer will usually start stripping velvet October 15-Early November.
