Time Lapse Antler Growth of Whitetail Deer - See How Fast Antlers Grow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2016
- 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.
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
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.
i thought the big bucks with no antlers were female
Damn. They went from straight up nubs to ninja blades
It’s crazy how they grow all year just to fall off
Born to grow and grown to die
@@TheHarrisontemple Born to poop, forced to wipe :(
@@GiantJanus i feel ya
So that's how Louis grow back his antlers. Ahahaha
glad im not the only one who went on a search to find this out hahaha
@@Jelloskele hahaha atleast beastars thought us something
Yeah I was wondering how them horns grow back didn’t even know they fell out in the first place
omg i'm here because of beastars too. and here i thought i was the only one 😂 there's just so much stuff to learn from it
lolll
Shoutout to everyone using this as reference for a story/art work
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.
Yep, you have the right idea!
It’s called BONE.
@@jake-hofer just one question. Judging from the screenshots, do you keep these deers as "pets" or are they just wild ones that just happens to be around you fences?
Antlers are SOFT while they are growing. Willi B. in Canada.
oh my God so fake how can it grow that fast It got to take 5 years to grow
The color change is crazy, they look so much better in the fall vs the spring.
I really Came here to see the shedding
You came to the wrong place. Maybe you should look that up , internet is easy to use instead of guessing
The growth from mid July to August was interesting to see. He finished off nicely.
This was an excellent footage! Thanks for putting this together and sharing!
Beautiful buck
Wow they grow so fast. Great video!
That is so cool! Our place in Ga we haven't had the same buck walk by enough to see something like that. Thank you so much! Bill
Glad you enjoyed it Bill, thank you!
Beautiful video. Loved the pictures and music!
So incredible and especially when they shake them off at the end of their season
Thank you used this for science homework
Wow great video. Thank you for putting this up and your efforts.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
1:03 that's the day today!
Good looking buck. Thanks for sharing the video. Cheers
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Wow they grew super fast!
what a handsome buck!
Thank you for making this 👍
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
This is super cool, thanks for sharing!
You bet!
I live right by a deer Inclosure and it’s fun to walk around there and find antlers. I have a couple
Thank you, it's so mind blowing
Nubs to hands to branches. Nice
Antlers are lovely.
Amazing!
That was cool to see. Never knew they could grow so fast in the span of a few months. Question though - what's that hanging off the deer's antlers at the end? Did it attack something?
Doner Kebab the soft velvet outside skin if u will starts to peel off every year, the deer actually eat the velvet for nutrients. kinda peculiar but also a cool process
@@willmccune583 Thanks for the response! Cool! So it's pretty much shedding the old layers off. Interesting, never knew that happened.
Doner Kebab I’m not a deer expert but after it sheds the velvety stuff I think it’s antlers are done growing
Doner Kebab The velvet is what we call it but thats how the antlers grow, it keeps blood flow to the antlers and once they are ready to shed the velvet comes off.
@@erik.1768 Thanks!
So awesome
Fascinating
Nice dude!
Thanks guys! 👊🏻
thats a nice buck
very nice video 👍👍
I always love seeing the freshly peeled velvet.
It's like the deer just got finished with a slaughter.
Its magestic
I've always enjoyed watching the deer grow on my game cameras, from fawns to maturity!!! But this was really cool as well!! Thanks for sharing!!
It's amazing how much their antlers burst between June and September!!!
What do you feed your deer???
And what was the age of that beautiful buck, during the video??
Bcuz he sure had some good bases as well as decent mass and tine length!!
It would definitely be a True Trophy in the wild!! What's his name?
And how many deer do you have??
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. We're not overally concearned with growing big antlers, but simply enjoy raising deer. This buck was 7 years old during the video and actually never had a name! We currently have 8 deer- 6 does and 2 bucks.
Jacob Hofer
That's Awesome!!
Do you have to keep the bucks separated and the does equally divided during the rut??
Thanks again for sharing your inspiring story and response!!
We use to when we had a larger operation. We'd typically divide up our breeder bucks, but now we just cut their antlers off before fall so they can't fight each other.
That's so amazing, that looks to be faster than human hair growth over the same period.
It's actually roughly the same but they pay for it biologically with all the energy they need to expend on growing the antlers
I bet there's no escaping this passage!
Awesome
I like his dreads at the end
August 28th, he was the boss. However September he got himself some earnings.

This photo looks like someone took a shot at him in the past (mid section directly behind of left shoulder), any knowledge of this?
that was impressive rack at the end...thumbs up !!!
Nice. Nice.
I imagine the process of growing and losing antlers is painful? Just think if you had two giant bones growing out of your head every year, seems terrible lol.
Maybe it's more like nails - you don't actually feel anything? I don't know.
So interesting. What's the song? It's really cute.
I think it's one right from iMovie, to be honest haha
woah ty fpr thai
HOW DO THE ANTLERS BRANCH OFF?!
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
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!
Just curious....do you use any product to stimulate that growth? I've started using a product called "Antleroid", but my sample size is really too small to be sure...it does seem to work, but mine are all free range in the woods
There was no additional supplements provided to this deer. It's hard to say if those products make a substantial difference, but they don't hurt.
You should at least check it out...the guy is a hunter and it's been researched by PENN STATE. Also, I talked to the guy, seems really legit. BTW: Thanks for the reply. Also, nice lookin' rack :)
I'll have to do that! Thank you!
0:32 the date is my birthday!?
Wow never knew deers shed there antlers
What’s that stuff dangling at the end ?
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.
When do they stop growing and how much do they put on a day?
Sometimes up to an inch! They usually stop growing late August
Can this even be considered as time-lapse? Not tryina be mean, just wondering considering most usually have something else in mind when thinking of time lapses
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?
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.
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.

wtf how do they grow.so fast
Can you turn there velvet, into material and make a hat out of it?

I've never noticed how at certain angles, they look like fingers... It's kinda disturbing.
I thought they looked like large hands, too.

it will be very heavy for the deer
Mustard
Like a beard but antlers
4 months isn't really "fast", but that's jmo.
No animal tissue grows faster, only plants. They can grow as fast as an inch a day during peak growth in mid summer.
Growing horned must be painful
Oh it is... even when they’re in velvet
ずいぶん太い角だな
To be honest I just want to see the fur and flesh tear apart off the antlers.
Deer shed antlers business is banned only in india from 1998
How awful. Imagine having these growing out of your head! Then not being able to cut them, like sheep can't sheer their own wool. It's bad enough having to cut nails and hair.
Deer drop®row their antlers every year, so its not the same as sheep wool or nails.
Oh give it a rest. It’s not painful for them, the antlers are not meant to be cut, they’re for sparring purposes.
@@bubbythedeer5873 They are heavy. I saw one where they were slightly damaged and someone had to shoot the animal with a tranquilliser dart, then go into the field and saw the antler off because it was leaning to one side and pulling the animal over. Would you fancy a tree growing out of your head you had to balance all the time?
@@treasurehunteruk9718 yes, I’m aware of the exact video you’re referring to. What you have to realize is the fact that that specific deer is on a deer farm, they raise them and feed them a copious amount of nutrients targeted toward antler growth. 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.
@@bubbythedeer5873 Why do they want to encourage antler growth? Are they of commercial value? Otherwise they will just break off anyway.

Let him walk, it's a yearling
Haha!
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..."
