This six point Whitetail Buck removed its velvet a few days ago. Deer antler velvet is supple tissue that grows on antlers and is shed each year.
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.
I was parked on the side of the auto tour road with my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
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 Buck was on the north side of the auto tour road between the 4-corners intersection and the Reeves boat ramp (About mid-way). This was at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

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.
This Whitetail Buck was near Shug’s Pond which is located at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

I am seeing several Whitetail Bucks with new antler growth at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I haven’t been able to photograph any yet but here is a photo of one I took a few years ago.
This Buck was with two other deer near the beginning of the paved section of the tour road (Sandtown). They stepped off of the road and into the trees when I first drove by, and I wasn’t able to get any photos. After reaching the end of the paved road, I came back by and the Deer were standing on the gravel section near Goss Slough. I stopped my pickup and got a few photos of the Buck.
When this Buck walked into the woods, I noticed it had a bad limp. I took several photos of its legs so that I could get a better look at them on my computer. I could see no visible signs of an injury.
