Very cool. Shedding can happen within a day.

Most people think they rub off their velvet but that's not necessarily the case. It dries, hardens and falls off, they just start rubbing when the antlers harden because it's instinctual and the velvet hanging could bother them.

If they never touched a tree, it'd still fall off.

Yesterday I had a 3 point and spike walk by the house in the morning, both were in velvet. They came back in the late evening and the 3 point was shed already.
