I have a couple questions about deer...
these were taken yesterday...
We live south west of Cincinnati
in Indiana, and...
1st.. Isn't it a little early to be seeing antlers sprouting?
2nd.. the right side antler appears to have a little deformity..
P.S.
(these were taken through the bedroom window glass so don't bother critiquing)
The CA Black Tail of this area - no. central CA Sierra Foothills - have been in velvet for a few weeks now - ya - lots of things can happen to the antlers while they are softer during velvet/early growth - we don't have the radical difference between typical and non-typical antlers as the white tail do - they can be quite interesting.
