Are there any studies done on a muley?s antler color? I know sun exposure in open terrain has a tendency to lighten any antler, but how do certain bucks end up with dark chocolate tines?
I can't believe the notion that vegetation has an impact during rubbing, because I've seen antlers perfectly chocolate, which would be virtually impossible to do. What do you guys think? Is it blood soaking into the bone during velvet shedding? The more a buck bleeds during this period, the darker? Is it pure genetics? I'm somewhat baffled?
