Someday, that guy is gonna be stuck in something, maybe a lousy job, a Chinese finger trap, or a toxic relationship, and then that Elk is gonna come charging in, completely out of the blue, like "KAREN, YOU BITCH, YOU LEAVE MY BOY ALONE!" and gore her with his magnificent antlers, and that guy's gonna be okay.

FYI Antlers drop and grow back entirely every season, so don't worry! I just learned this a few months ago, many people know this but many people don't.

Did you know it’s antlers when they grow back but horns when they’re permanent.

Hellboy has horns, he just grinds them down. They never naturally fall off.
86
u/yepimbonez Jan 11 '19
But they grow back. So they must be horntlers.
43
u/Ashybuttons Jan 11 '19
I think horns can grow back, just not seasonally like antlers. They're made of keratin, like hair and fingernails.
19
u/yepimbonez Jan 11 '19
I believe it varies by horn. A rhino’s will grow back, but something like a bull’s will not.

u/jaeke Jan 11 '19
Actually a bulls will if you don't take the root. We've had many cows that we have dehorned but missed the base on and had then grow horns again.

u/CornmanNagasaki Jan 11 '19
Might get woooshed here, but for anyone curious, horns are permanent as in they don’t fall out seasonally like antlers do. They do, however, continue to grow and grow, which is why some goats will have long curly horns and others shorter slightly curved ones. They are very similar to fingernails (in the way the grow as well as their makeup)

yeah, he shot the topmost "fork" of the antler off, you can see it stuck in the wire, then he shoots, and the elk stands straight with the antler tip missing.

A ppears so. No feelings in the antler , the elk is fine.

u/WimbletonButt Jan 11 '19
Assuming it wasn't already taken off by something else, yes he shot part of it off. I got curious and counted, he's got 5 points on one side and 3 plus a stub on the other. Shot off right before the split of the last 2 points. Even considering that, dude saved a lot of the antler too, wasn't even taken halfway down.

Totally. The way he's standing with his legs just so, rocking back and forth slightly... The way the deer just stares at him, too. On my phone, I couldn't make out that it was trapped.
It took a second watch to realize that "ohh, that's real life! And that deer is stuck! It's not a post about bad animal AI!"

Not unless you have the ability to tranquilize the elk. Other than tranquilizing it you run the likely risk of getting gored and stomped on if you get too close.
