First velvet hunt of the year at Apple Creek Ranch, with an amazing pass through shot.

We have a buck on our preserve that seems to be ill, but we aren't sure what the cause is, or what to do for him. He has always been very healthy, but the last trail camera photo we got of him, he is suddenly thin, and his velvet is peeling off even though the rack isn't done growing. The only...

I thought I would start a thread for this topic so there is a place for people to search for help when they need it. This is something no one cares about or thinks about until the time they have an issue. I have only had the need to intervene twice so far for antler damage. One time I used...

Hey guys I need some advice. I just noticed my big breeder buck has a chunk taken out the end(but still got a good ways to grow out) of his right main beam. What should I do? It seems like it is starting to heal over on its own because it is black and scabbed (I can get to within an arms...
