I had no idea that white-tailed bucks shed their antlers annually. I thought the size of a bucks antlers was a great indicator of how old a buck is. To my suprise, I learned I was wrong. It is amazing that a buck sheds their antlers annually. They are amazing animals.

It is definitely possible to see white-tailed bucks growing antlers. Most bucks grow antlers about the same time, but there are also outliers—those that start very early or very late. Where are you located?

I though I saw a whitetail buck in a field that was growing its antlers back. It’s March and is that possible.

From what I understand, if a buck gets castrated or injures himself while it has no horns he will never grow any more antlers. On the other hand, if a buck gets castrated or injured while he has his horns, he will not loose them. I am not 100% sure of this, only a good friend of mine told me this. Anyone know anything about this?
