The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to help you to discover nature and learn more about white-tailed deer.
This common Missouri deer is named for the bright white undersurface of its flag-like tail.
Whitetail bucks form and shed antlers each year. Antler growth starts in early April or May.
During the growth period the antlers have a plush-like quality, giving this stage the name of velvet.
Velvet is a really a soft tissue that has a lot of blood vessels in it.
The blood pumping to the end of the antler is actually what allows it to grow.
Full antler size is reached in August or September, shortly before the breeding season.
The velvet begins shed, or dry and peel, exposing the underlying antler structure.
Bucks are quite aggressive during this time, and rub their antlers vigorously against trees, vines, brush or any other object that suits their fancy to help remove the skin.
These rub marks left on trees are a great way to track deer and know if they live near you.
