On the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast this week we have on Lindsay Thomas Jr. with the National Deer Association to talk about everything antlers. First we immediately get into a rabbit hole and talk about the timing of the rut in the southeast, which is where Lindsay is from. Once we get into talking about antlers, Lindsay gives the listener a rundown of the antler growth process and how it works, even talking about the relation of antler growth to cancer. Then we get into injuries and how those affect antler growth in a buck. An injury to just the antler can affect a buck differently than an injury to the pedicle or a skeletal injury. We also get into culling bucks and what Lindsay thinks about that practice and mineral sites. Lindsay gives us all kinds of great information on this topic and hopefully helps the listeners understand this awesome process we watch bucks go through every year.
