2021 antler season begins With Bo shedding on camera

Our whitetail buck shed his antlers
Captured on camera

[@MeetLeAnne]

Why is the sound of Bo's antler base snapping off so satisfying?

[@skycorrigan6511]

WOW! I knowthey shed their antlers, but the area on the head surprised me

[@rokukou]

Yeah, looks like holes in their head!

[@endor8witch]

Right? I always assumed the antler will crack at the base with some antlers remaining until new growth just pushes out the old base to the tip

[@pain_is_understanding744]

That was a lot more than expected. Never knew it just snapped off like that very nice video.

[@mlwarrior]

Oddly satisfying

[@standardcake18]

That snap was so satisfying.. I keep coming back like twice a week to hear it

[@purplecatcandles5872]

He gave you a mean look when you pulled that antler off. That didn't hurt him did it?

[@Welcometothecountry116]

Deer's antlers are honeycombed bone tissue. When the rut is ending the buck's testosterone goes way down, which makes the antler tissue break up. It takes a few weeks for the tissue to break up, and then the antlers shed. ... This does not cause the deer any pain.

[@purplecatcandles5872]

@@Welcometothecountry116 What are those bumpy things all over the antlers, especially near the base?

[@Welcometothecountry116]

@@purplecatcandles5872 I’m not sure how to answer just seems like it would help stabilize the antler by putting equal pressure all the way around the skull every deer has a unique shape

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

@@purplecatcandles5872 probably small growths on the bone or where the velvet used to attach. Heck, it might even help with removing it,

Probably feels something like trimming fingernails or pulling a baby tooth that’s ready to fall out for people.

[@rodbelding9523]

Did you catch it?? That literally might be the first time ever in history that a deer shed and someone caught it

I actually pulled it from his head

Wow, that was amazing, thank you for sharing.

[@JMUDoc]

I would imagine that this is akin to a human pulling a loose baby tooth out - a shock at first, but it was barely connected anyway, and no harm done😁😁

[@timmcgrae8678]

We wish to see more of this and you taking the velvet off the antlers. This is what the people want

That's so sad that Bo passed away he wasn't very old though so how did he pass away ? he was so young and he was so friendly.

[@Welcometothecountry116]

@@kramnancy1411 we believe he died of pneumonia but not really sure. We miss him for sure

[@kramnancy1411]

@Prairie Haven Ventures You know even if you're not sure you should put him on some animal antibiotics.. My cat was under the weather and he wasn't breathing that well so I insisted the vet give him some antibiotics because I was worried about pneumonia His has difficulty breathing and sound very watery. Anyways we did an X-ray and the X-ray said bronchial pneumonia so I was right. Got some animal antibiotics called marbofloxicin. It's a 3rd generation antibiotic it's indicative for pneumonia. It's saddens me to know that maybe Bo didn't get any medical care or antibiotics.. Pneumonia is very bad it's your basically suffocating.. I gotta tell you I enjoyed seeing Bo on your videos he seemed like quite a pet it's a tragic ending to such a nice pet.. But if one of your animals seems out of sorts and it's not eating low energy . put your ear up to their mouth and see if you can hear some Watery sounds in there breathing. Marbifloxicin Is one of the strongest antibiotics. And I've had good results with it with my pets.

[@jmenzione]

Amazing. You have to make another video of pulling off the velvet and shedding the antler base.

[@Welcometothecountry116]

I will definitely try

[@aileen694]

Prairie Haven, wow, that was a surprise and amazing to see! Your deer are beautuful. But I noticed Bo's hoofs seem way too long. Don't suppose you can trim them, like with a horse?

[@Welcometothecountry116]

We do trim when he needs it done but it involves sedation and we only do it when it’s absolutely necessary we trimmed them the same time we sedated him to cut his Antlers

[@aileen694]

[@noremorsewoodworking2258]

@@Welcometothecountry116 When do you cut the antlers? As they grow or once the velvet has come off?

[@AckBoater]

Why wasn't the base of the antler you pulled off bloody?

[@Welcometothecountry116]

I don’t have a good answer for that But my best guess is if you look around the outside of the base there is kind of a wax ring I believe that is to cut off blood supply to the antler when they are ready to go hard horn That prevents the blood from getting in until the seal is broken. But that is just my best guess

[@shedmachine8503]

When a deer or any antlered game is ready to shed they don't bleed actually the blood supply is cut off in order for old growth to be cast for the next year's seasons growth, I've witnessed multiple species shed in the wild without a drop of blood but has a translucent effect when freshly shed. I've been shed hunting for almost 40 years & it wasn't until after witnessing multiple animals & dozens of conversations with big game biologists for Idaho F&G did I personally learn this mystery myself Sir so don't worry about not knowing

Why don't you wait until they shed naturally so you have the full set of antlers instead of cutting them off ???

[@ryanhough7098]

I wonder what that feels like? I imagine it feels like when you have a really deep & wide cut and it’s itching real bad and you rip that scab off and it’s still not healed underneath so it’s still bleeding but it didn’t hurt taking off the scab it made it feel better idk lol

[@Welcometothecountry116]

Can you imagine how it must feel having them things come off?

[@Welcometothecountry116]

It is obvious that he feels it when it pops loose he immediately walks away and seems upset

[@Sigurther]

I imagine its like loosing a tooth as a child - initially painful, but a relief to finally be rid of. Bo was definitely surprised, but i doubt that hurt much. The stub was basically being held on by suction alone, hence the pop.

Each deer is an individual and sheds at different times. I find the older the deer the sooner they shed. No matter when they shed the antlers will not start to grow until April at least here in Oklahoma
