Antler Growth

[Randy Roberts]

I was checking the trail cameras on my property with the hopes of finding some nice deer to pursue in the upcoming archery season. First I came across the pic on the left which was taken on 07/17 and then later on the same disc I had him again on 08/01, the pic on the right. Take a close look at his 3rd and 4th points as well as the beam length noting how much he has grown in a 2 week period. They tell me the black bulbs he still has on the end of some of his tines is an indication he is still growing. Hopefully he grows some more and I can get some more pics. I named him Cactus for what are obvious reasons, thinking I should have named him Kodak, he's pretty photogenic. Maybe he'll come in and pose one more time just like that after the velvet is off.
