They are shed after the rut and regrow each year. Each year they get bigger and develop more points. As they grow they are covered in velvet and this dries and gets rubbed off each autumn for the rut.

When do moose shed their antlers?

i was out on Jan 3rd and i noticed a bull moose with the antler missing on the right side there were 5 moose with him at the moment 3 bulls and 2 calfs the other two bulls had both antlers still so one thing i do no is that the moose in our area don't lose there antlers till the first week in janurary =========================================================== Also, moose lose their antlers in the beginning of winter and regrow them back at the beginning of spring. Cow moose (females) do not have antlers in the first place. Also, some small animals feed on the antlers when they are shed because the antlers are high in calcium. Hope this helped! Paladin89

Why do deer rub there atlers on trees?

Deer grow a new set of antlers each year. The new antlers are covered in a kind of velvet. Because of fighting and searching for food the velvet becomes rather tatty, often hanging down in strips. This can reduce the animals vision, which is highly important to such an animal. So it rids itself of the offending velvet by rubbing its antlers against trees. The bare antlers are used especially in the "rutting" season (the mating season) when the strongest deer, usually with the largest and perfectly shaped antlers, will be able to assemble his own herd of females. Later in the year the antlers are "cast" off, but the material of which they are made is not wasted because the deer will gnaw away at the antlers to take in the stuff needed for antlers to grow once more.

Why do deer need antlers?

The correct answer depends on what time of the year you saw the bull moose. After the Fall rutting season the antlers fall off. The moose will then grow a new set of antlers in the Spring.
