Most of us have probably set up our trail cameras early enough in the year to get a look at some of the bucks in velvet, but it’s not too often that we get to see the antler growth from start to finish. Thanks to the folks at MSU Deer Lab, now we can. The first video is Doc, and he turns into a very impressive looking buck with a huge drop tine. Next is Meatball, and though his rack ins’t quite as impressive as Doc’s, he grows a nice set of antlers. Meatball only took 170 days for his antler growth stage to be complete, but Doc went a little longer, taking 209 days. Two great looking bucks that any hunter wouldn’t mind seeing during hunting season!

The Whitetail Antler Growth Timeline (With Chronological Photos) I love summer. Not because of the beach, or the brats, the beer or the bikinis. I love summer because bucks are growing antlers, and to a whitetail addicted geek like me, that’s pretty exciting. That said, I know I’m not alone.

So without further adieu, the new and improved whitetail antler growth timeline, with illustrations! April: By the end of April brow tines and 1-2 inches of additional antler growth should be visible on most deer. May: Look for visible G2′s and antler beams should be at about half their final length.

Stages of Antler Development in White-tailed Deer. Antler growth in deer really is phenomenal! In fact, deer antlers are among the fastest growing tissues in the animal kingdom, growing as much as 1/2-inch per day during peak antler growth. Of course, the amount of antler material a buck grows depends upon nutrition, genetics, and age.

At the same time, they’re also growing a new set of antlers – a phenomenon unique among all other mammals. It’s also a phenomenon that has made deer antlers prized as trophies for primitive and modern hunters alike. The antlers that are grown by male members of the deer family (and female caribou) are true bones. This is different from the unbranched horns of cows, goats and sheep that are composed of keratin, a protein similar to the hooves. While growing, antlers also have a blood and nerve supply.

June: Antler growth should increase dramatically this month, so look for all the main points on the antler to be growing by the middle to end of the month. If a buck is mature, look for a substantial frame at this time of year.

Confidence votes 1. white-tailed Deer usually start growing their antlers in late spring to early summer. The velvet ( the furry coating on the antler that makes the antler grow) is shed in early august and the antler is shed after the rut (deer mating season) in November.

Antler growth can explode at this time of year, with growth potentially being as substantial as an inch a day. June is really all about frame, and then in July you’ll really see tine length. By the end of the month, antlers should be very near to fully formed. Leaner sporting a nicely developed frame on July 28.
