The antlers of a deer falls of each year then the area of a whitetail bucks head that is responsible for antlers and antler growth is called the pedicle. Once an antler falls off this pedicle bleeds lightly which causes a scab to be formed. This scab heals from the outside of the pedicle. Once fully healed a brownish-grey skin will grow over the area. As spring approaches the amount of daylight increases. It takes a certain amount of daylight hitting the retinas of a buck's eyes that triggers blood flow back into the pedicles. This blood flow deposits a protein base that supports mineral deposits which result in the growth of new antlers over the next few months. Antler growth is tied to the amount of daylight each day. That is why a trophy bucks antlers can grow up to an inch and a half a day in June and July when the days are the longest. Of course much is dependent on a bucks physical condition and nutrition available year round in the area that a trophy buck lives.
