The first picture below of this buck was from August 22. If you look closely at his left G3 tine, it looks broken over, although possibly healed like that. However, in the next video (Sept. 3) it appears he has completely broken that tine off, and the tine and attached velvet are hanging (and possibly bloody). In the second video (Sept. 4), the velvet has completely shed from that antler, but not the right antler. I've never seen a buck shed just one side. I suspect his shedding of that one side was injury induced, in that breaking off his left G3 and tearing the velvet caused all of the velvet on that antler to die while the velvet on his right antler was still alive.
