Monster Clay!

Did they strip the velvet to get those measurements? It’s not officially scored and recorded unless it’s stripped but monster nonetheless

Rumor is Caswell County

I have no idea, I was wondering about the effect the velvet would have on the score.

I am still amazed how much smaller bodied the deer are in NC compared to Ohio.

No one @ NCHF knew if the hunter last time I checked. Lots of assumptions.

Well I was wondering because the hunter's name is Steve.

Just was told by my buddy who is an official scorer that velvet deer have their own category

Steve might have taken the pic, but not THIS Steve. Lol...I was too busy trying to convince someone I killed a trophy mule deer in Butte Montana several years ago with a 7.6 Creedmoor.

That makes sense. Never thought of it before....but it does.

Yes rolling hills but not really anymore than other parts of the piedmont. It is a rural county and my understanding is the mineral make up of the soil grows big antlers.
