Antlers are covered in a fuzzy vascular skin called "velvet" during antler development as blood and nutrients are assisting with antler growth. Once blood flow diminishes and antlers are beginning to harden, big game will rub the velvet covering off on trees and other vegetation. Bull elk typically rub the antler velvet off in early to mid-August. Deer typically rub their velvet off in late August and early September and moose rub off their antler velvet in September.
