The Amity Forest continues to delight. This buck has started hanging around our house. For those of you who have never seen a White-Tailed Deer “In Velvet”, look at his antlers. Within a month or so, this deer will wear the “fuzz” off its antlers, and he will look more like you expect.

From Science.Com: “When you see deer with fuzzy antlers, you are seeing a deer in velvet. That velvet provides nutrition and growth to deer antlers. This special tissue is a type of skin, loaded with blood vessels and nerves, that regenerates every year.”
