Lukeh Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Just got back trail camera pics from my Wisconsin farm from the last month and I had 3 pics of 2 different deer with 1/2 of their racks from last fall. The pictures were from March 28th and April 6th. One was just a spike but the other was a decent 2 1/2 year old deer. The rack was broken half way up the main beam. My question was if this is common and how it effects the 2010 antler growth when some of the other deer are starting to show growth for 2010. Thanks Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Bucknasty Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 It doesn't have much affect unless they injure the pedicles by continuing to spar into the growing season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Welcome to the forums. Honestly don't know that antlers being dropped late has a significant impact on the new growth since there seems to be a little bit of a lapse in time between new bone growth and the normal time you see antlers drop.
