[11] Growth occurs at the tip, and is initially cartilage, which is later replaced by bone tissue. Once the antler has achieved its full size, the velvet is lost and the antler's bone dies.
One comparative element he used was the skeletal measurements of a single mule deer, but he did not provide the data on sex, age or locality. However, from data provided by Klein (1964) [ 3 ] and McMahon (1975), [ 4 ] the relative lower leg length of mule deer can vary at least by 22%.

Samantha Bone agrees. She is the feed sales director at the Georgia Deer Farm & Agri Center in Roopville. The business gets its name from the deer farm that was on the property in the 1980s.
The species became extinct approximately 11,500 years ago, toward the end of the most recent ice age, as part of a mass extinction of large North American mammals.
