antler

We are photographing 8 different bucks ages 1-4 every Tuesday and posting on Wednesday at the link below: I thought other deer farmers might enjoy following along here. http://www.dropmranch.com/AntlerGrowth.html

Has anyone every had a buck rub so much after his antlers are cut off that he rubbed down his nubs and rubbed the skin right off his head. We had this buck do that and we were really quite shocked to see how his antlers are growing this year. What do you do for a mass measurement come this...

Guys, I'm enjoying Christmas every day watching the first ever antlers grow in my pen. I have 4 yearling bucks, and one is really outgrowing the other four. He will be 12 months old June 1. He has main beams to the edge of his ears, g1's and g2's. His beams are beginning to curve forward...

Today, my white buck finally shed his antlers! does anyone else have bucks running around with their racks yet or does Whitey win the prize? Is this a normal thing for white deer? He even runs slow!!

I just got this on the old board in time to have this new one take over so I will post it here also. I guess the time is coming for the velvet horns and damages that come with them. I thought I would share pics of the repair I did on one of my three yr. olds , Trudeaux last year. He got crowded...
