Have read about antler damage during velvet from cottonseed feeder baskets. Is this really a concern or issue? Any pics of first had accounts???

I have never seen that happen on Axis or Whitetail. I feed over 30k lbs a year through those feeders.Originally posted by TXBRASS View Post -

They can damage their antlers in velvet and some do, but it could be caused by going under fences, on a tree branch, etc..... It doesn't happen often because they are really careful with those tender appendages. A lot of times people will see one side of the antlers curving down and call it a cull and most likely they bent the antler without breaking i while it was growing.Comment

Can happen anywhere on the property. I wouldn’t attribute much to CS feeders if at all... we have them scattered all over our place.Comment

We had an axis buck rip his antler off in velvet on a cage. The antler was stuck in the cage when we found it.Comment

I haven't seen any issues with damage from CS feeders of all shapes and sizes, in several different areas of the state.
5 or 6 years ago I found the only damaged velvet antler I've found, and it was hung up in a hay net we had full of alfalfa for axis. The nets got replaced with troughs shortly after that
