Seeing swamp_fever2002's post in the pictures forum made me start thinking about when the Alabama antler growing period ends. Having run trail cameras for 3 years now, I know that most of the deer I get on camera shed their velvet in late Sept. Does the antler grow right up until the velvet comes off? Or is there a couple days/weeks that the growing has stopped before the velvet starts coming off? I am going to check a couple cameras I've had out all summer tomorrow so it'd be neat to know about how many days/weeks of growing they have left to do.
