What Time of Year Do Deer Shed Their Antlers?
All male deer shed and regrow their antlers on a cyclical basis. The buck does not need his antlers during the regeneration process. Because his testosterone level is so low, it is not necessary for him to attract and impress females or challenge male competitors. Once the antlers are fully grown and the regeneration is complete, the shedding cycle will begin once again when mating season concludes.
