Do reindeer shed their antlers

Answer 1

Deer shed their antlers annually for the regeneration, or re-growth, of new ones.

The entire shedding process takes two to three weeks to complete, and the re-growth phase takes place over the summer. The docile male deer that, with the exception of the male and the female reindeer, solely sports antlers, sheds them between January and April, after the autumn mating season draws to a close. He can do without antlers at this time, because his need for them in prior months, to attract and to impress females for his harem of mates, and to fight with his competitors for the females affections, no longer exists.

Answer 2

Elk will shed their antlers annually. Elk grow their antler starting in the spring and on into the summer then late summer early fall they stop. During fall or rutting season they use them to gain breeding rights and then during the winter elk use their antlers to gain access to grass through the snow. Late winter and early spring is when they shed.
