Another 6mo or so and he would have 2 white streamers in his tail

Is that common in American Games?

It means that unlike normal deer he never shed the velvet from his antlers. During the time that the antlers are growing, they are covered in flesh and fine hairs which is referred to as velvet. As fall approaches and testosterone levels rise, the antlers harden and the velvet dies. The bucks normally strip the velvet off by rubbing on trees and brush.

There is something not right with him as his velvet stayed alive longer than normal. He never went through the process of rubbing his velvet off of his antlers. Since the time I first photographed him, he has been in fights with other bucks and has broken off some of his tines. My guess is that his antlers never properly hardened.

In certain cultures it is highly prized. Some game farms make money harvesting the antlers in the velvet and selling them.

Saw a tv show about Alaska. Lady was harvesting the antlers with velvet and the live nurishing tissue to make three velvet tinctures and salves for medicinal purposes.
