I asked this same question of the guys on my "2008 Canadian Whitetails" threadon the "Other Area's" forum. I figured since most of the dark antlers that I've seen have come from Canadian bucks, I'dask the right guys. Most of them say it's from the trees the bucks are rubbing their antlers on. A couple said it was partially to dowith soil/nutrition.

These are not huge but they are dark horned....

RE: I want to see some....
 

I had a brief look at a beautiful chocolate 10 pointer last season here in Missouri.
Could be an old wives tale, but I remember hearing that the more nocturnal the buck was, the darker the horns.

he was about a 120" 8 point, he looked to be a 3.5 yo, wish i coulda got a shot!

This is the only chocolate rack buck I have ever shot. Not very big... just a young 6 point. couldn't believe how dark his rack is compared to others I have shot.

IT SEEMS MOST OF THE MONSTERS FROM SOUTHERN WV HAVE VERY DARK HORNS, THE NORTH SEEMS TO BE LIGHTER...

RE: I want to see some....
 

I had him right under my stand last year and couldn't get the shot.

RE: I want to see some....
 

These are kind of dark.

RE: I want to see some....

RE: I want to see some....
 

Chocolate racked NC buck.

RE: I want to see some....
 

Not super dark but I was always led to believe it was the tree's they were rubbing also like cedars!!

RE: I want to see some....
 

GregH, I love that buck!! He reeks MATURE!!!:D:D:D

RE: I want to see some....
 

These are probably the two darkest racks I've got.

RE: I want to see some....
 

exactly what I wanted to see guys, those are awesome!! thanks again Greg for that pic, I don't know why I love that deer so much, maybe it was the whole story involved.

RE: I want to see some....
 

heres on that is one of the darker ones ive seen up here, my brother killed him a few years ago

RE: I want to see some....
 

I had an awesome chocolate racked 6 pointer walk 15 yards from me 3 years ago. I chose not shoot him. Not only was symmetrical, but his rack was very wide. I thought I was a trophy buck hunter that year and didn't shoot....I regret it now.

RE: I want to see some....
 

that's too bad shadow, maybe you can connect this yr!

RE: I want to see some....
 

Here's one.

RE: I want to see some....
 

These are my two darkest racks. The first one is a bow kill, the second is one we caught on video and then found dead in a field about two month's later.

RE: I want to see some....
 

Forgot to put this one in my post.
