Why Do Deer Shed Their Antlers?

Deer antler shed

Simply put, male deer shed their antlers for the purpose of growing new ones. This cycle happens once every year for them. Most species of deer will begin to shed their antlers in late winter to early spring (varies depending on location).

Shedding their antlers usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete. After they’ve shed their antlers, they will start the regrowth process by growing blood vessels known as “velvet” around the antlers, which fills them with needed vitamins and minerals during the growth. The antler regrowth process happens a bit slower, taking place over the summer, and usually lasting 3 to 5 months.

Finding Shed Deer Antlers

Deer antlers are a great prize to come across in the woods of your favorite hunting grounds. If you’re thinking about going hunting for shed deer antlers, here are some tips that have helped me be successful throughout the years:

  • The best time to find shed deer antlers is from late winter to early spring.
  • Deer usually shed the left and right side of their antlers at the same time. So if you find one side of the antlers, search nearby for the other side.
  • Many antler hunters use dogs to help them find sheds. Labrador Retrievers are popular shed finding dogs, and if trained right, can find more than with the human eye alone.
  • The size of the sheds will give you some idea of the size of deer in that area.
  • Take a storage container along with you to collect the deer antler sheds. Something as simple as a backpack or small duffel bag is perfect for storing any antlers you come across.
