White velvet antlers

[Harold Money jr]

Anyone ever seen a buck with white velvet?
There was 2 bachelor groups at the house the other evening. In those 11 bucks there was the biggest and most mature who had about 8" back tines but, the top 6" was white as a deers tail. I've never seen that before of since. Will the tines be off colored? Anyone know?

Interesting. Never seen or heard of it

We had one years back that velvet was much lighter than the others, almost white. Did not really notice much difference when it went hard horn.

I watched a tall 8 last year that had really light, almost white, back tines. His antlers looked normal after the velvet shed.

That's a new one on me.

Never white but I have seen it really dark. Now I will say the sun can make it look very light colored to me, but not particularly white

This is a terrible picture, I know it's terrible. We tried to hold binoculars and a phone at while it was getting late. You can see a blurry white mark above the blurry bucks head that's a touch of the white tines

Interesting. Maybe put trail camera out and get a closer pic
