The resulting antler growth suggests that not only were the deer not harmed by their high-protein diet, they actually utilized the protein to grow bigger antlers, indicating that higher protein is necessary for a buck to achieve his genetic potential for antler growth.

"Deer corn" is a commercial name given to. dried corn for the express purpose of marketing.

Developing antlers have blood vessels underneath a velvety skin, which can help to regulate an animal's body temperature. Large antlers might also attract mates and intimidate rivals because healthier elk will have larger sets. Bull (male) elk use their antlers to fight each other for mates and territory.

Whereas antlers are composed of bone, horns are composed of keratin (same material as hair and fingernails) on the outer portion and live bone on the inner core. Antlers are shed annually; horns grow throughout the life of the animal.

On average, regardless of age, a buck should take in an average of 16% protein from spring through summer to achieve optimal antler growth. In a study in Texas, four year old bucks fed 16% crude protein grew antlers with about a 20 inch larger Boone and Crockett score than bucks fed 8%.

One of the key nutrients in a deer's diet that can increase antler growth is protein. With protein-rich food, a buck can grow bigger antlers and body mass. When a buck doesn't have a balanced diet and lacks the protein it needs, its body will prioritize nourishing muscles over growing antlers.

Again, once a deer herd starts consuming about 0.20 Pounds per Day per Acre of feed (after 2 ½ years or so), fawn survival should start to increase. Antler size should also increase at this time. To be precise, I have seen antlers of individual bucks respond to feed soon after the feeding program starts.

Corn is high in starch and a good source of digestible energy, but can cause problems in a deer's digestive system. When deer eat too much corn or other high-‐carbohydrate food, many complex changes occur in the rumen.

Re: Cleaned Corn vs Regular Corn for Deer Most of the stuff labeled as "deer corn" at stores costs a lot more and it has lots of bits of chopped up cobs in it as filler so I usually avoid it.

Antlers are made of bone, and covered with "velvet" - a thin, soft layer of skin and blood vessels that gets scraped off the antler over time. Later in the year, those antlers are shed, making room for a new set to grow in.
