Just wondering what makes deer antlers dark or light in color? I have killed them with dark antlers and almost white ones and I shot an 8 pt the other day and his were almost a yellowish color.
Not sure if this is true but the darker they are means their is blood plentiful in them.. When they are very white it means they are close to shedding..? Just what I have heard
I saw a 10 pt in november that had a pinkish/red tint to his antlers
where is widlifepro when you need him lol

I think its what they are eating while they grow or what they are eating before they shed there velvet. I think the blood thats in the velvet is what stains the antler as the velvet drys. All the cam pics that I have of bucks velvet peeling off the antlers are aready dark or as light as they are going to be. They will get lighter do to sunlight bleaching them.
