Elk Shedding Antler

[@Vampshroom420]

The most gentle shedding ive seen in this rabbit hole of deer antler shedding videos

[@Q_QQ_Q]

Lol

[@taliawtf6944]

The way he was acting it must really itch.

[@Marion628]

You can feel his anxiety to get it off. Then that raw bloody stump, exposed to the air, must hurt! I feel like putting a bandaid on it! Amazing!

[@rodbelding9523]

Thats cool, I never realized they were actually smart enough to just kick it off haha.

[@NatVirgo]

Just imagine if it’s not ready to go yet…

[@ItzAstrics]

Deer/elk are very intelligent animals

[@Savageboi506]

Lol.. that's like saying its not smart enough to scratch an itch..

[@stephanielipford9388]

He removed that Antler like a Bad Tooth.

[@siriusgd4753]

Probably itched really bad till he knocked it off. Then it looked like it hurt. Probably a headache like brain freeze. Then all them damn flies...

[@Q_QQ_Q]

No

[@MinuteontheMountain]

That is such a cool video. Right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing.

[@caz7363]

Such a clever Buck! It must have been a bit annoying!

[@RazzlyCrunch]

Kinda like getting rid of a scab that aint dried yet

[@beasaroseco5840]

Now he looks like hellboy.

[@capitainebonhomme1609]

Wow ! Using his back leg to gently push out the antler !

[@Eddi3xBac0n]

You can tell he is in pain

[@DaltonScharberg]

Awesome footage!

[@colleenpeterson7247]

[@patriciawilson6373]

[@tedreddead7913]

Sure hope thats just from antler drop looks alot like CWD to me

[@michellemazzon7981]

Very small antler

[@haygood9]

I’m a city boy, do they grow back?

[@TopaTopaDave]

Yes...but bigger

[@endlessgameplay416]

How long does it take to grow back

[@reemclaughlin4260]

Somebody give him an ice pack?

[@antlersadventures2]

That is an amazing video! Was this on an elk farm?

[@TopaTopaDave]

No, these are wild Rocky Mountain Elk.

[@radamik]

I wonder if that’s common, using his leg to knock off the antler. I wonder if they itch or something- and all that’s left is the bloody stump that doesn’t seem to bother them

[@antlersadventures2]

@@radamik this is the first I've seen of an elk or deer knocking it off with their own foot..... From what I have witnessed, it does seem to make them itchy. Have seen them shake their head and rub on trees during time of shedding..It also does seem to bother most of them to have one fall off. It is compared to a human pulling/knocking a tooth out. I have seen some that stumble around from pain and some that it doesnt seem to bother at all.

[@radamik]

Actually it does look like it might be painful for him. But wouldn’t that bloody stump be prone to infection before it scabs over….

[@antlersadventures2]

@@radamik possible yes.
