As we move into January Red Stag antlers are still in velvet, with most Red Stags around 80% grown out they generally go into hard antlers late January. With it being very warm in January/February Red Stag antlers tend to start getting itchy so they will start rubbing as soon as the velvet is hard and stops becoming sensitive. Red Stag antlers at this time of year in Velvet can weigh around 10-15 kg (22-33 lb) per side.
