Both the male and the female reindeer's antlers fall off every year. The timing depends on the age and sex of the animal. Old males lose their antlers around December, while the younger males keep theirs until the beginning of spring. Females lose theirs in the summer. All of them regrow their antlers each year.

Why do hunters want deer with more horns?

Actually technically its not horns they have antlers. Horns never fall off of an animal, whereas antlers do. Deer antlers fall off and regrow every year. You want to shoot a deer with lots of points (antler size) because this means that it is an older deer, more mature than the others, as well as it is likely to be bigger bodied. So this is good for those who want to eat the deer. Which most hunters do.

Only male deer grow antlers. Females don't. Actually, antlers fall off in Fall and have to grow back in Spring! Males use their antlers to fight for the right to mate with females. They lower their heads, and charge, their antlers locking together. They keep on fighting until one gives up and the winner gets the female.


Do they bleed when they shed their velvet?

If by they, you mean deer, then yes. Velvet covers deer's antlers and feeds the antlers the vitamins and minerals it needs to grow. There is a base at the base of each antler, and when the antlers have received enough vitamins and minerals, the base cuts off the blood flow to the antlers, causing the velvet to dry out, shrivel up, and fall off. The velvet is itchy, so the deer rub up against trees and such to help get the velvet off. Basically the only reason the deer's antler's bleed is because the blood may not be fully cut off and the deer still find it itchy so they try to scratch it off themselves.
