Velvet Shedding on a Barbed Wire Fence
Hunting season is fast approaching and the bucks are shedding their velvet. This happens every year prior to the re-growth of new ones. The process usually takes two to three weeks to complete and the re-growth takes place over the summer up into early fall. The cycles starts all over again after the rut when the antlers fall off. A buck does not need antlers (depending on animal/latitude) during the early months of the year because they can manage without antlers and do not need to fight off other bucks for territory or does.
