Deer Antler Velvet: Big Bucks Are Losing It!

Over the next two weeks northern whitetail enthusiasts will be in position to witness one of the most amazing sights in nature, the peeling of velvet from a buck’s antlers.
When bucks peel velvet from their antlers the process can take anywhere from an hour to several days to complete. Outside of a fight-to-the-death with another buck, the velvet peeling process is one of the most stressful things a buck experiences. I’ve witnessed the process many times in my career and the calories that a buck burns is amazing. It is highly dramatic as the buck thrashes its antlers against brush and small saplings. If the peel is complete within 1-2 hours the buck is completely exhausted.
An amazing aspect of velvet peel is that most bucks will eat the bloody velvet if they can find it. The velvet does contain a large amount of protein. But, the most common belief as to the cause of this behavior is that it’s a way to keep from attracting predators that would be drawn to the scent of blood and decaying velvet.
Once bucks peel their velvet, they often expand their territory and begin making some of the first rubs and scrapes of the season, as the days grow shorter and further away from the daily patterns of summer living.

Smokey’s Preorbital Gland Lure
Get the attention of the bucks in your area with Smokey’s Preorbital Gland Lure. Recent research proves that the licking branch is the No. 1 key to success when hunting a mock scrape. Furthermore, the key to that licking branch is preorbital scent. Bucks secrete this scent as a means of distinctly identifying themselves from the “competition.” Bucks regularly visit licking branches and become aware when a new rival shows up — the licking branch has the scent of a guy they don’t know.
For the first time ever, preorbital lure is available to the general public and now can be yours! Each bottle contains matching glands from individual bucks and comes in a 1.25oz bottle.

Primos Hunting Double Bull Qs3 Magnum Ground Swat Camo Chair
When you spend as much time in our ground blinds as we do, you eventually create the “best seat in the house” instead of trying to “make do” with some chair from a discount store. Standard chairs are apt to cut off blood flow on the back of your legs, leading to discomfort and cold feet. They also restrict mobility and don’t allow the range of motion that our QS3 Tri-Stool provides. Of course, we designed this tri-stool at the perfect height to see through all of our blind window openings.

Venison Carne Asada Tacos
Submitted by D&DH reader Jason Pinheiro
1-2 lbs venison, thinly sliced
1 lime
1 orange
1/4 tsp cumin
Chef Merito Steak & Meat or your favorite Carne Asada seasoning
1 white onion, sliced into rings
Sprinkle the carne asada seasoning and cumin evenly over both sides of the thinly sliced (or gently pounded) venison and pat it into the meat.* Throw all the meat into a large resealable plastic bag along with the sliced onion rings. Squeeze the juice of the lime and orange into the bag with the meat and onions.** Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and work it around to make sure the juice has a chance to marinate all the meat.*** Remove the meat and onions from the bag and put on a hot grill.**** Cook for two minutes or so on each side. After you remove the meat from the grill, chop with a cleaver into bite sized pieces or slice into strips. Quickly warm tortillas on the grill, and serve the meat with the grilled onions, chopped white onion, cilantro and a hit of lime juice.
Editor’s notes:
* Dry the meat with paper towels or a towel first so the seasoning doesn’t run off
** Before cutting your lime and orange, roll it on a counter firmly but not too hard under your palm to help release the juice from the pulp. You’ll get more juice this way.
*** If you have more time, seal this with a FoodSaver sealing bag system and let it marinate for a few hours for more intense flavors. You also could do this a day before and then remove the seasoned meat and onions from the fridge before cooking.
**** If your onion rings aren’t large enough to lay on the grill rack without falling through, use a vegetable basket to get them just right.
