Yes. Both sexes grow new antlers every year, underneath protective fur called velvet. When the antlers have finished growing, the velvet falls off. After the mating season, the antlers fall off.

Do reindeer shed their antlers?

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.
