Time Lapse Antler Growth of Whitetail Deer - See How Fast Antlers Grow

Velvet is considered to be one of the fastest growing mammal tissue on earth. The cartilaginous antler is a pre-calcified stage of growth. Once testosterone increases in the bucks, they will shed their velvet at the end of summer. It's said deer antlers can grow a rate of 1/4 inch per day.
If you ever wondered "how fast do antlers grow" then this video is perfect.
See our five year old buck's daily antler growth. It's remarkable how fast antlers grow from the even June to August.

Awesome. Just found out that they drop their antlers every winter. I always thought only the teenager bucks have small antlers and the older bucks would have the large ones from years and years of growing. I guess Bambi didnt tell the whole story.

@brooklynnturner384 2 жыл бұрын

Its either a farm or a high fence so id say hes feeding them the right nutrients and gene breeding Edit- around here all deer vary in their antlers a old deer can have small 6 point rack and a young buck habve a 24" 10 point rack all in the genes id say

@Denni55 2 жыл бұрын

It's true. Although antlers do shed every winter, they grow back bigger the next year. So the older bucks do have bigger antlers. This is why hunters mostly shoot older bucks, it's to give the next generation a greater chance of survival and spreading their genes, because the teenage bucks don't stand a chance against the giant antlers of the older ones.

@@Denni55 I hadn’t thought about it that way. Makes total sense now why to shoot the older “majestic” ones. Gives the younger ones a chance to be men and breed.

So, once the antlers start protruding, they can keep growing on the tips, kind of like a plant? That's how the antlers branch off? It's pretty incredible that such a hard material can keep changing. It's kind of like if your nail kept branching out at the tip after it grew past your finger.

Thanks for the kind words Jim! It is remarkable how fast their antlers grow in such a short amount of time. We switch feeds once in awhile, but often feed them Record Rack Deer Nugget.

how can you tell if a buck is going to have big antlers this time of the year I've got trail cameras out. I have several bucks on camera but one has a really big body and his antlers obviously arnt formerd yet but his bases look thick compared to others

@jake-hofer 6 жыл бұрын

Good question. It's hard to tell for sure, but the larger the bases the more potential it has to grow into a big buck. Some bucks grow slower and later in the year, while some grow very quickly in the late June. When looking at pictures in mid summer, the more 'bulb' on the end of the tines the more it has to grow. Once they thin out, they will slow down in growing. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!

Does any one know if it hurts them when they are scratching the skin off the antlers or is it just itchy and they are just following their instincts?

@bubbythedeer5873 3 жыл бұрын

Nope, they don’t feel a thing! If the velvet were to be disturbed while there is still blood flow, then yes it can hurt. But once the antlers stop growing, there is no longer blood flow; therefore, no feeling.

@Halloween111 2 жыл бұрын

Lots of times you will find chunks of it stuck to trees or even phone poles as they rub the velvet off. If you have a fair population in a smallish area. Once the calcification completes and the blood flow to the velvet stops, It's basically dead tissue. No pain. Antlers are kind of hard to find because they are not usually dropped in the same place and other critters like mice, Opossums, etc eat them for the calcium.

The velvet the antlers were coated in during growth. When the antler growth is finished, the tissue sloughs away from the bone inside and the deer begins scratching or rubbing it away to expose his shiny new weaponry.

Deer in the wild rarely have antlers that size. So a deer on a deer farm with access to guaranteed foods rich in nutrients compared to a wild, free running deer which is often times restricted access to such foods rich in nutrients is completely different.

It's funny how this happens and if it were to happen on a human being and we didn't know why, while at the same time the girls would start seeming a lot more interesting to the guys, and how more irritated the boys would get about the other males growing these things on their heads, in modern human culture, we'd figure it was some kind of disease or cancer. and we'd try medicating the young males to get the antlers to stop growing..and the girls would be rather wacky in their behavior....like SJWs... (oops, sorry) anyway, all this stuff that is perfectly natural and normal in animals is regarded as some kind of pathology that must be treated with pharmaceuticals in human beings!!! Imagine if you evaluated humans like animals. What a relief! "These are 'horny' young males....these are loony young females in estrus who will act like cats in estrus, flirting and then hissing and yowling and then striking the tomcat who mounts her and then purring afterwards..."
