I photographed this Whitetail Buck in velvet at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It was in an old cornfield that was left standing from the year before.

Whitetail Buck With Third Antler Beam

I read that seeing a Whitetail Buck with a third antler is rare. I read that this could be from genetics or an injury.

This is another Whitetail Buck growing a set of new antlers. I posted a photo of a larger one a few days ago (Whitetail Buck Growing New Antlers). I read that a buck’s antlers can grow anywhere between 1/4 – 1/2 inches in length per day.
