I got one mounted that has the swirl on its brow tines but not on main beams. Makes a very cool mount for sure. Nice kill! Congrats

Where did you kill him at if you don't mind me asking? Freeze drying those antlers would help ensure all the color stays in the velvet

Wow. He still had a lot of growing to do. Nice color in the velvet.

I shot one in velvet a while back that had swirls in the velvet, but not as dramatic as the one you have pictured. Very unusual.

Looks like he was on some type of "X Files" vitamin supplement.  Mount him, solve the old anniversary gift dilemma and birthday at the same time.

Very cool, I have several whitetail bucks do that. After they rubbed out, one kept the swirl, other did not.

I have never seen that before. I think he is truly unique. I would have him mounted as others have said. Congrats!

I just got mine back from the taxidermist. Full velvet as well. Makes a beautiful mount. Make sure they freeze dry the velvet.
