🦌 Join us on an incredible journey through the seasons as look at the cycle of whitetail buck's antler growth and intricately tied to their testosterone levels! 🌿
📅 Here's what you can expect:
Spring (April - May): Witness the beginning of the antler growth cycle as testosterone levels rise with the changing of the seasons.
Summer (June - August): Dive into the summer months when antlers really start to take shape. Discover the key factors affecting the size and shape of antlers.
Fall (September - November): Follow the bucks as they enter the rut, and learn how testosterone surges impact their behavior and antler development.
Winter (December - February): As winter sets in, testosterone levels drop, and bucks shed their antlers.
Throughout the video, we'll use my sketches and informative graphics to illustrate the changes month by month.
Whether you're a seasoned hunter, wildlife enthusiast, or just curious about how a bucks antlers grow, this video offers an eye-opening look at the science behind how it happens.

I thought I knew it all after hunting for over 20 years. Yet I’ve learned something new from every single one of your videos. Thanks for the content and cheers from Texas!

[@jovanventer1308]

You're like the organic chemistry tutor when it comes to deer

[@nikolaymachev9975]

Wait, what? Antlers are annually thing? Deer changes it's rack more often than I buy new shoes? So glad this popped up in my recommended. Thank you!

[@captain_slang]

Wow, was not expecting such a great video! Really well done! I really like the scoring and field judging of white tail. Do you plan on doing one for elk? Thanks again for the video!

[@Carsonphillips14]

I enjoyed your video. Please keep up the good work.

[@RyanKirbyArt]

Thank you!

[@alexlindekugel8727]

more interested in the deer anatomy art work. but puts out good ezy to understand content. really like that!

[@nickibateson1466]

Yes you rock man thx

[@sirarnie9837]

This is a good general overview of growth. But I still haven't found out how and why the antlers actually take their shape.

[@lostbuffalo196]

EXCELLENT.............EXCELLENT.

[@Tom-uy3lt]

Amazing. Never knew that about antlers. I thought it was magic.😂

[@diaryofagoat-lass1023]

Such beautiful art!! You do such amazing work!! But I do have a question: the way the antlers first form look very different in how I see "salad forks" being very straight spikes, unless this is all showing the growth of a standard mature buck. Still wonderful work! ❤❤❤ Greetings from Saskatchewan!

[@RyanKirbyArt]

The sketches in this video would represent growth in a more mature deer in a year time span vs antler growth over the course of a bucks entire life...thanks for the question!!

[@DustinKeating-yk3vq]

I live in South Louisiana and deer hunt the swamp i would love to buy a painting of a nice white tail buck in a cypress swamp setting

[@timothymcglothlin4165]

Great video, and you make some beautiful art! Quick question. The first buck I killed had a “unicorn” “antler” growing out of his forehead. It wasn’t much of a point, but it protruded enough to consider it a point. How in the world does that happen?

[@RyanKirbyArt]

Sounds like a very cool buck! You'd have to ask a biologist! Good luck this Fall!

[@samuel.g5928]

How rare is it to find a pare of antlers cus my dad fond a pare in November this year

[@catchyoulateroutdoors8401]

Wow, I learned so so much in such a short video! Great job 👍🏻 JESUS Loves you so so so much for sure !!!!!!!!!! GOD Bless !!!!!

[@lukesouthworth9310]

My 10 year old son has been watching you he wouls like to know id a buck can get smaller in antlers like they do hetting bigger

[@user-gr6lk8eq6y]

Love the art, Especially the elk because I'm from Arizona. would like to know where to get a t-shirt

[@RyanKirbyArt]

We've got apparel coming soon...I'll post a link here in the comments when it's live on the website!

[@That_FS22_Guy]

So will a buck grow the same pair of antlers every year?

[@crepitus3552]

no, the antlers gain points and thickness each year of the bucks life, they may top out somewhere, but a one year old buck is often called a spike because he's going to have 1 single spike antler, a 2 year old is often called a fork because.. yep, the antlers develop into their first 2 points with a fork below where they split (on each side), each year progressively getting bigger and more individual tines on the beam.

[@Studio215official]

I thought only pronghorns shed their antlers?
