They sure do and we’re already marking the spots where we see the Bigguns.

Right now they’re in velvet and the antlers about half their eventual size.

Oh yes, they do. Larger in a few months, but they are prominent.

The new ones are growing as the old ones fall off, they will still be covered with velvet for a few more weeks.
