Antler Growth Increasing in the Northeast

Well it's that time of year again. The deer have their summer coat and the buck's are adding inches of antler with each day that passes. Velvet covers the growing antlers providing nutrients to the rapidly growing bone beneath. 

One of our readers in the forum recently posted this picture of a buck in his area. Notice how one side of the buck is heavy and the other antler is very weak. There could be several reasons for this, but it is most likely due to an injury the buck suffered on the opposite side of its body.

Tomorrow I'll be headed out to the deer woods after work to change the cards on my cameras and hopefully finding some great pictures when I return home. I'll be sure to post some on the forum.

For those of you who have trail cameras out right now, what have you been getting pictures of?
