 Coues Deer Life Stages
Antlers are eventually shed as changes in hormones cause the decalcification in the pedicle (the living bony growth on the frontal bone of the skull to which the antlers are attached).
Originally the antlers are white but become stained brownish from blood in the velvet and from the juices in the trees and bushes that the buck rubs his antlers against.
Antlers are then used during the breeding season to secure mates through displays and fighting with other bucks.

Within that framework, warlike operations are those military activities required to pursue specific military objectives, such as a declared war, conventional combat operations against an armed adversary, and peace enforcement operations in support of diplomatic efforts to restore peace between belligerents.
As in Operation Hurricane, ground crew and aircrew of the Lincoln aircraft at Totem 1 should have been supplied with radiation monitoring devices and instructed in their use, and failure to do this was negligent.
Apart from involvement in wars, other conflicts and overseas deployments, it is difficult to conceive of another Australian military operation in the 20th century comparable to the tests’ scale and risk of harm to individuals.

Documents obtained by The Advertiser also reveal radioactivity continued to be measured at a former decontamination facility at Edinburgh, known as Hangar 594, as recently as the early 1990s.
The facility was established to wash and strip aircraft used during the Operation Buffalo and Operation Antler series of atomic tests at Maralinga in 1956 and 1957.
RAAF airmen who cleaned the aircraft have told The Advertiser that parts which could not be decontaminated were removed from the planes and dumped in the pit near Heaslip Rd, which is less than 5 km from the Angle Vale housing development.
