4 or 5 years ago there was one with two fawns hanging around my fathers place - she had 3-4 inch spikes, and they stayed covered in velvet. The last time I saw her I took a few pictures, it was in mid November and she still had velvet. I dont know if she shed them or what - never saw her again. I'll download a photo if I can find it. I have heard of them being shot with 6 and 8 point basket racks. Did the doe you saw last year keep velvet all fall?
