My buddy experienced that. Doc gave him a little blue pill, says all OK now
Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?
Nice moose Gary! Never heard of that before with the antlers
Dragged an August buck off the road after it was hit . Grabbed the in velvet growing antlers and they were like rubber.
Yes when in velvet not in November though .
In the photo his body looks a little emaciated, maybe poor nutrition and too much screen time.
He was laying in a bit of a hollow so he looks small but he was not .It was larger than average and older than he appeared.
There are a lot of wolfs around this area pushing them.Had a young bull come out on the road and walk up to within 10yds of us while we were standing on the road having lunch over looking a clear cut.He was soaking wet and saliva running out his mouth.There is no swamp near there .I believe he was being chased by wolfs that is why he came toward us up the road and veered off at 10yds .That was in October.
I wonder if stress was a factor?He had been rutting too as his antlers were well abused
They are hardened up now.
You may want to have it checked out, although, I assume it's all been cut and wrapped by now
"Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye;
Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark."

Possibly held his velvet quite a bit longer? Looks tasty
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
