Deer gun season started Friday. No doubt antlers will be the topic of much conversation, some of it even true, whether it is about the one that got away, or what have you. Most of those conversations will be on the size of the antlers or whether they were typical or atypical. But there are other aspects to antlers that we give scant attention. I was reminded of that recently when I ran across an online Smithsonian article about antler development from 2017.
