Velvety Horns

Pictures of some Oklahoma whitetails still in the velvet.
Hope y'all enjoy!! and thanks for looking!!



And I think these young deer are twins(little buck & doe)---look at the markings on their faces, almost identical! And when they feed, they stay together. Aren't they beautiful?!

Thanks Ron ----hope you don't get tired of seeing these deer----I just enjoy them so much when they start coming in to feed, and I wanted to share.

Great post-wonderful pics! Never get tired of seeing wildlife, but I am sure I will get tired of all the hunters making comments after they see this (not that I am against hunting at all, I just don't like to think about it-poor babies).

Well I have mixed feelings about the hunting too----my husband and daughter both hunt, but I don't-----There has to be some balance, though, so I enjoy feeding the deer in the back yard and also enjoy their hunting "trophies" as well as the meat they bring in.
Good management of the deer keeps them healthy and helps control the population.
(I won't be posting any hunting pictures because I know that offends a lot of people----just shots of the live deer .)

Thanks Catobra!

Here are two of my pen raised. I've got them at 172" and 208".
Hopefully I can sell them this year, feed goes up every time I buy it.

NICE!!!! What beauties, Gold Maven!! I would love to get a license to raise deer! I think that would be so neat......all the deer in my pictures are wild deer....they are free ranging. We do have "regulars" that come back every year and we find their sheds(sometimes) and are able to measure their growth. I think that is the coolest part for me---to find the sheds and see how they've grown. Its amazing what good nutrition has done for these deer.
