Key Deer Bucks <br />
Are Magnificent in August </strong></font></span>
</span><br />
<br />
In August, bucks are particularly
magnificent looking as they sport their new racks covered in velvet,
the soft furry-looking vascular skin that envelops and nourishes the
developing antlers.<br />
<br />
The
bucks have not yet begun to fight for territory, so they are still easily <strong>approachable</strong>. They are also an incredibly <strong>splendid
sight</strong>. Their tawny-colored bodies and furry-looking antlers
seem to glow in the diffuse, muffled sunlight just after dawn or prior
to twilight. <br />
<br />
An <strong>added bonus</strong> this month is the opportunity to closely
approach the offspring of last year's mating season. In August, the
<strong>fawns</strong> still retain many of their spots (though they
will soon disappear) and most have lost any shyness around humans.<br />
<br />
The
bucks will rub off the <strong>velvet</strong> in early September since
the rut begins around the middle of that month. The <strong>rut</strong>
peaks in October, then gradually decreases through November and December.
</font>
</p>
<p class="text1">The
bucks will <strong>drop their antlers </strong>February and March, and
the fawns (weighing between two and four pounds) will be born from April
through June. </p>
