I’ve got a buck that I have tried to kill for a couple years now and he doesn’t shed his velvet. I’ve yet to see him show any signs of rut behavior and i’m curious if there may be a testosterone issue that keeps his horns from hardening as well as keeps him from breeding / chasing does?
Any Insights/experience on these bucks and there rut behavior is appreciated.

I killed a buck last year that was still in velvet, for whatever reason he always shed his velvet really late, like end of October early November. Everything was in tact on him. I had a buddy who killed an 8 point years ago that had no berries!

Might have had his balls ripped off somehow. It happens. After that they don't shed Not true at all. Seen a few with twig, no berries - funky racks but no velvet. I killed one of them about 20 years ago in Pickens County.

A buddy of mine killed a hermaphrodite once and it was in full velvet in late January.
