Here is a mule deer buck that I have trail cam videos and videos of in hunting season. I was filming this deer and as he started to run he dropped his left side, bedded down after running 400 yds, I stalked behind a small brush and waited 25 minutes until the buck decided to start running again and shaking off his right side with the drop tine. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
I love how Buck is staring directly at you from like 300 yards away. ...zoom out, and he's basically beyond camera visual range.
Their senses are extraordinary
Staring! Like, "What're you looking at?" And you're standing in another zip code, but he sees you.
I see you
He can smell the filthy human scent.
I guess you’ve never heard of a wide angle lens.
I learned two things here
1. Mule deer antlers are a little more thick than I originally thought... and 2. That dude has a really good camera
Thicc bois
Austin Williamson it’s not a I found big foot camera
Aiden Hernandez if only :/
Even that far away the deer spotted him
Juan Fonseca yeah deer have amazing eye sight lol
That’s incredible! Not just finding the antlers but getting it on film while the deer sheds them. Outstanding
Man, talk about lucky.😊
lol..not sure what the big deal is..2 antlers fall to the grown..wow..lol
@@alexng4 Imagine shaking your head and all you hair falling out lol I'd love to see that
🥴
@@alexng4 maybe because u are retard
I wondered why this happens, so I looked it up:
Antlers grow from a pedicle, which is the attachment point to the animal's skull. When a buck's testosterone levels drop after the rut or mating season, a new bone cell called an osteoclast removes the existing bone tissue between the pedicle and antlers, causing them to fall off.
I was wondering why their antlers fell off. Thanks👍🏽
Cool info! I'm still wondering _why_ they do it though, why expend the energy growing new antlers each year?
My guess is that, if the antlers are fresh every year, they're stronger and better for fighting?
@@daemonburns-waight2421 Yea i believe this is a part, also the antlers will increase in size to a max when they are fully grown I believe. So an older deer will generally have bigger antlers. Same with moose and others I believe
Antlers shed too
@@daemonburns-waight2421 yes, because they are external bones after the velvet comes off they can't grow or repair themselves. Just like teeth.
Regrowing new ones allows them to make bigger antlers, and ensures that a broken antler of the past won't follow them for life.
You can see how annoyed he is when only one antler came off, he's just shaking his head like "son of a B"
It could be very unbalances feeling on the neck.

I've always wanted to find a pair of deer antlers. This makes me realize that unless I watch the deer drop them, I'll probably never find a matched set
Over the past 35 years I have found hundreds of antlers on our land. It is unusual to find a matched set but it does happen occasionally. Most of my finds have been small antlers, not whoppers like the ones in the video. I saw them up and give them to dog owners for their dogs to chew on.
@@MrTruckerf my dog looooooves deer antlers. She’ll even naw on a skull every now and again.
Mice rats and squirrels eat em
Look along fence lines and places deer have to jump. Sometimes they both fall off from the jolt landing.
Or go hunting
Absolutely fantastic--the buck, the antlers, the dropping/falling of the antlers, the camera, and this guy's patience!
2nd this
Calm down spanky!
"How much for the horns?"
*Buck death stare, then prances away*
"Oh I'll get those horns..."
Finding one dropped antler in a field is cool, finding a matching set is incredible. Filming the deer dropping them no less! Amazing
This is natures way of saying *a rare item has dropped you cant leave until you find it*
shits sounds like its out of a videogame lol
They grow back
I used to find white tail antlers in the green belt behind my backyard as a kid.
@@subswithoutanyvideos-tx2rj r/woosh
1k :)
I found a deer antler once when i was a kid, around 10-11 years old, just a small one from the deers in Sweden we call 'Rådjur'.
I still has it and i'm 25 now.
Also have an acient reindeer crown trophy from my great grandfather hanging in my bedroom. It's around 130 years old now. They were a gift from my grandfather on my mothers side. They are so precious to me.
Can we see it ?
upload a pic and link it
I want to see it pretty please
Thats so cool
Reindeer antlers are huge, that must take up a lot of space lol
He's like "oh no, did that human really just film that? How embarassing!"
*anyways.... So I started shedding my antlers right?
My mind went to Open Season movies and poor Eliot. 😂
Imagine being in your car seeing that bad boy and you turn to your wife saying. Babe, there is this massive ass buck! Then you just look over and it looks like a doe🤣🤣
they just straight up fall off that's weird I didn't know that
+Moonylicous Yup, every year
Get your nose out of your cell phone. Lots of very cool stuff all around you.
Moonylicous but i wouldnt know about this if it werent for my cell phone.
male reindeer shed their antlers during the winter months while the females keep theirs
Cammanderp Wow..the females don't lose theirs. I learned something today, thanks.
Brilliant footage. I appreciate your patience in acquiring these beautiful antlers humanely ( :
It’s not like he was hunting.
You could get them humanly during hunting season too
Hunting is humane but I agree the footage is great
Because distressing animals during the most crucial period of the year regarding their survival is humane.
@@1stuart1 Just shut up
I found a large antler in an English woodland. Had a cursory look for its partner, but it was probably shed miles away. Still, the one I have looks good on my hall table. Lucky you, getting a pair like that! And thanks for catching it on film. That must have taken a lot of patience.
I’ve never seen it happen before. A deer shedding its antlers. That was really neat!! And what a good score! Both! The shedding on camera and collecting the antlers!!! Just so cool!
❤️💜💚
0:56 "HA! Finally! Now to go undercover as a doe."
ah, yes. Deers, the traps of the animal kindgom.
GAAAAY
CinemaBiohazard ya until a Hunter with a doe tag comes along...
@@HassouTobi88 OwO
What the fuck am i doing here
Nice catch , I actually missed that until you pointed it out
It’s nature’s process of planting more deer: various events occur, like depositing the seed while traveling, so that more grow and spread out even further in a continuous cycle
If you’re joking this is funny af but I’m concerned you actually think an antler will grow another deer
@@turkey4957 its not a joke dude. Deer antlers have a small fetus inside them and crawl out after a 10-week gestation period.
@@pbjracing14yearsago49 🤣
@@pbjracing14yearsago49 Only happens when the deer are horny.
@@turkey4957 If you think there's a possibility it wasn't a joke I'm concerned for you..
Wow I never knew they shed like that. I wonder how many times I saw a deer, thinking it was a doe, when it was actually a buck.
A relative of mine had a farm for whitetail deer to be raised and released to help the population, and although I've found several shed deer antlers in the wild in my life, even on that farm with all sorts of opportunity to observe bucks from the comfort of the house, no one in our family had ever actually seen them drop off as it happened. I've never even seen it on film before. Amazing that both were caught on film at the same time!
That must be very relaxing for deer
Like getting home from the office & taking off your work clothes.
But he won't have much to defend himself with though
Corina:
bucks normally drop antlers after rut when their test levels drop. most of the time deer will turn around and consume part of them to get the calcium back from it just like them eating their velvet. they grow back each year.
Erin May but in the meantime
Corina Land they don't really use them for defense though. It's rather for style points during mating season (and also to fight other males during mating season). For the rest of the year it's not really that relevant, I think
it would be so annoying during that short period where hes got 1 antler lol.
its like wearing a 5 lb earing on one side lol
Never seen that before! Thought they just fell off. No idea the buck was aware and active in the process. Awesome, thank you!
Surely this was long time of waiting for this unique video. Thank you for that.
**Deer walking with swagger**
**Drops antler**
"I'm too cool for antlers"
**shakes it off**
**Keeps on swagging.**
Hahahaha
The way the antlers of the deer just falls off is just full of exaggerated swagger
Swag 😎
I love stags , never realised that their antlers just fell off like that.. Thankyou sir, for the lesson..

@@w.neuman you are in fact right. I just looked it up. 🙂
@@w.neuman and now let's try again, but with less signs and more words.
I randomly came to this video and today is Jan 11 2023! Exactly 9 years since it's taken and älso today is my birthday 😁
I’m currently reading CJ Box’s “Wolf Pack”, one of the Joe Pickett novels (JP is a Wyoming game warden). They mention “shedding wars”. Now I’ve seen actual shedding. Fascinating!
I wonder if they feel better afterwards. "Finally, my heavy annoying hat is gone."
Two hats that are diagonal.
Lol this is so cute
They probably do. Interesting how when they fall off the deer has no apparent interest in going back to look at the antler or sniff it. Obviously there’s no sense of loss! Plus the deer knows he has to keep moving.
And that boys and girls is how female deer are made...
Good one. Lol.
can they mate with themselves if one is on and the other off?
Lol
Jonathan Vang cool

Wow! How cool was that! I couldn't believe how far away the photographer was when he zoomed the camera lens! And it looked like that buck knew he was there!
Fabulous HUGE antlers! And, a PAIR! And you got to see them shed! Triple WOW!
I love the beginning hes just looking at the camera like "okay man you ready for this?"
Say when!
I can only imagine how good that must feel for the buck.
Deer shed antlers business is banned only in India from 1998
@1heavyhammer lol
Shahbaz Ahmad buck is the name for a male deer. Moose, elk, caribou get called bulls or stag for a different type of elk.
What an amazing experience! Excellent job keeping the camera on him for the second drop! Congratulations on one hell of a find!🇺🇸
And sooo many good uses for those. My grandpa and father used to polish them and use them for making horns, leather tools and much more
Absolutely amazing!! To be fortunate enough to catch both drops is stunning to me!!!
Great video!
A beautiful pair of antlers, and he gets to grow more next year.
A true win-win
DUUUUUDE.......SAAAWEET! That's a once in a lifetime opportunity, congratulations! Cheers from Texas...
Thank you.
My grandma used to take me on excursions to find shedded antlers, her and my grandpa would sell them to artisans, knifemakers and gunsmiths to make stuff.
I found a pair of deer antlers once when I was working a ski season in Austria. It was end of season, I went for a walk in the hills and there they were with a little blood at the ends and not more than ten metres apart.
Are you from Austria? Me too :D
i found one wile picking blackberries here in Texas couple weeks ago its on tree in my back yard as a back yard decor
MartyMonster my brother found some elk antlets in someone's house once.... he got a nice 22 riffle, 100 bucks cash, and some amo 🙄
Dan Swan god daym your brother a burglar???😂
@@ramargate definetley is
I wish my wisdom teeth can fall off that easily.
They will if you keep knocking the other side of your mouth
Yea but Instead we pay a ton of money to be put to sleep and have my mouth ripped apart by some quack lmao
Yep,,,, that's the "tooth" the whole "tooth" and nothing but the "tooth"!
Ken Hurley, lmao I think they are made of calcium just like bone but those would be some funny teeth ontop of the head, i guess that’s why they are called antlers and not teeth 😂
Deserve Not Desire damn I think I’ll try that 😂😂
I can imagine that one falling off would be very uncomfortable. Like you'd have to hold your head up so it doesn't lean to the heavy side
This dude is in the snow that deep just chilling🥶😳
that was so much more rewarding than having to kill it for the antlers.
How so? You can't eat antlers. It was a treat to watch, yeah, but it wasn't more rewarding than stocking a freezer with organic meat that was humanely slaughtered.
true. but sometimes you just want the majestic ones to pass on it genetics and for others to enjoy seeing it in the wild. Take the younger ones. They taste better anyways.
+tao her take the younger ones? wtf? lmao
+tao her You would pass on this buck for a smaller one? Good for me. One less person chasing my buck
+AtarahDerek "humanely slaughtered", humanly (If something is humanly possible, it is possible for people to do it) slaughtered (If large numbers of people or animals are slaughtered, they are killed in a way that is cruel or unnecessary) I think you used the wrong words to prove a point. Unless you are into that kind of stuff.
Fuck the Deer! What about that camera Zoom+/- action, that's one hell of a Camera.
hahaha Mark i said the same thing whatta fkn zoom dam !
Wow, so glad you were there to get this great footage and a set of antlers to boot. Thanks for sharing!
It’s like the buck has spidey senses seeing you from so far
Amazing to think they can grow a new pair each year, must place a huge demand on the body
I cant believe they grow this big so quick
Going out and drinking till everything blackens takes its toll too ;)
@@la7dfa lol some don’t do it till blackout. But it does take a toll.
I think it's one of the fastest examples of cellular growth in an animal.

He wasnt jumping to loose them thats how mule deer run sometimes
A natural gait for them. Very different from the whitetail. Same for the racks.
Reena Lathrop 0:17
They're not attached to the skull anymore so of course they need to be gone.
@crackerxxx um..what is wrong with you?
This man said it was a “must see” and over 6 million people took his word for it.
You learn something new every day ...i didn't know this could happen
Hah, how long did you follow the guy telling him "I would like the complete set please".
Dude your so lucky to get both his sheds. All I've ever found were one shed and of course during the summer when everything is all over grown.
What a marvellous eyesight that buck has.
That is so awesome!!! Lucky to have caught that on camera and then to get the antlers!!!
We have three different kinds of deer in India that shed annually, but haven't seen any of them ever shedding there antlers. Never found one either. You are one lucky lad.
Wow, I seriously was surprised when the first antler dropped away. I was waiting for the next because that would have certainly have felt off balance. Fascinating!!
Now that is how antler collection becomes beautiful !!
Very cool. Thank you kindly for taking the time to show us this.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how amazing that camera is
Poor guy must of felt funny walking around with more weight on one side
Did you watch the entire video?
forgotaboutbre yeah I meant like when he had just the one for the stage
Must have... Come on

“Mating seasons over, Won’t be needing these for a while”
Thank you for filming that. It was incredible💕
very rare situation and difficult to take photos. Congratulations, we don't have this species deer in Poland but we have red deer which is also beautiful and interesting deer :)
We raised Red deer here in the states and they are the most beautiful deer and have the most delicious meat:)
Mule deer are incredible, They only live in the western US but by god are they everywhere there. Where I live, only whitetail deer live in the area.
chinmoy808 North America. They are found east to west in Canada. All over Canada. We got white tails everywhere, elk mostly in the west and north. Moose east to west. Caribou also west and north. Can't remember about east.
@@adamrodgers9175 are you talking about mule deer in the first three sentences? im confused.
@@3asianassassin They also live in South America
That felt oddly satisfying to watch!
The deer’s standing there thinking “Oh, no! I’m asymmetric! I’ll bet I look really stupid.”.
dude i can only imagine how long you had to wait in the cold. thank you
It's funny that anyone would watch this video and then give it a "thumbs down". That was cool stuff. Good job.
they have stopped thumbs down because it was a terrible feature everyone complained about
@@jaysilverheals4445 lmao or so they say
Once in a lifetime experience there you friend. Congratulations !!
Phenomenal experience! Amazing to be able to watch it happen and capture it on video as well. Congrats!
Incredible timing. What a find. And thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing that! Once in a lifetime event for you to be at the right spot and right time! Awesome equipment as well, what were you using?
Having just one antler would drive me crazy if I was the deer or the man.
Glad things worked out for both of them.
This is the first time I've seen the word droptine or tine. I just learned stuff. Thx deer guy.
How cool is this human. He got deer antlers without killing the animal. Good for you and thank you!
1. Many hunters eat the meat (or give it to needy families).
2. If you don't cull thr herds, disease and starvation will kill them (with a lot more agony) and more deer and people will die from car accidents.
Humanely harvested videos are such a joy to run across! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Undoubtedly there will be other things coming onto markets worldwide, from flus, to floods, to volcanoes, that are not always even legally harvested let alone humanely.
Need more eyes and ears on such issues when so many have been lost.
How would one harvest a volcano or a flood?
I guess you could "harvest" a 'flu by catching it.
What?
“Humanely” Humans can be worse than any living thing yet animalistic is crazy yet humane is loving……The arrogance.
@@juniorhernandez3347 "humane" is referring to positive aspects of humanity, that we should all strive towards. it's just a made up word used as a descriptor, it's not too serious bruh.
@@juniorhernandez3347 It's called being humane because it was previously believed that "cruelty" is animalistic, while "kindness" and "empathy" are purely human characteristics.
Today, we know this isn't true - there are other animals capable of those traits and others like altruism, etc. But it's true that it is a very rare trait in the animal kingdom. Nature itself is cruel. "Every man for himself" is the default, not a mindset unique to humans.
wth, I never knew they could do that!
They cant do that, the antlers just fall off. They cant drop them whenever they want lol
True, but how it was jumping appeared to be an attempt to remove them. It's possible they know when the antlers are ready to fall off (like they itch or something) and can try to speed up the process.
Indigo327 that's how they run naturally away from danger
Flap Jacks so you're telling me that they slowly jump and throw their head around to get away from danger? Sure...
1000 subs - 1 video how do they fall off?
I love finding these while hunting relics. Always a nice bonus.
That was amazing. I've never seen anything like it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

It's like he's been rollerskateing for a month straight and just took off his skates. Remember that feeling? Pepperidge Farms remembers
I was today years old when I learned that deer shed their antlers! I thought that it was like permanent teeth, once they grew out they were there to stay
Nope. They shed them every year after the rut(seksy time) and it grows back in a few months. They're also good treats for dogs. Goats have permanent horns and don't shed.
I've always wondered what this looked like! What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
Dear was like: dude, I can clearly see you JUST HELP ME ALREADY! 🦌
Beautiful buck, great filming of the shed, dude. Thanks.
I’ve watched this happen when a whitetail buck jumped a fence. One antler was on one side of the fence and the second was on the other side.
I've always heard they would do this, but I've never _seen_ it happen before. Thanks!
