Post by: hawksfan75 on May 05, 2011, 03:49:29 PM: OK, I have a new guy question...

How long are they typically without racks for? If they drop off in February, would they be growing by now? Point is, is this guy just getting a head start instead?

Like I said, new guy question...

If he was getting a head start he would still have velvet.It looks like he is going to get a late start.

That does happen. Not often, but it does happen. What is likely to happen, is that when he does start sparing, one or both will fall off.

Post by: Boss .300 winmag on May 06, 2011, 06:13:51 PM: I have a relative that had a spike elk around his place that never dropped the spike antlers it had from year to year. Then one day it squatted to take a leak, then it all made sense.
