Antler Development Has Begun in the Hudson Valley
You may have noticed that deer here in the Hudson Valley are starting to develop their antlers.
If you have been fortunate to spot a white-tailed buck in the past few weeks, whether it was out by your garden or running across the road, you may have noticed small, fuzzy antlers forming. Adult male deer shed and regrow their antlers each year.
The soft material that now covers the forming antlers is known as “velvet.” As day length grows longer in the spring months, it triggers hormones that initiate the growth of velvet. The velvet is lined with blood cells that help promote and support antler growth during the summer months. Later this summer, the velvet will dry, and bucks will rub it off leaving hard boney antlers.

If i m being completely honest, i m not really into it.at all.
I grew up here in the Hudson Valley, did k-12 in the Wappingers Central School District. I had a decent experience in high school, was involved in all sorts of stuff, had a couple of different friend groups, did pretty well in school. I graduated and stayed somewhat local, doing both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at SUNY New Paltz. I moved out of the area for almost 10 years, landing in New England, did the whole marriage, house, baby path, and then decided I wanted to move back to the Hudson Valley.
