An elk horn, commonly referred to as elk antlers, is a seasonal growth found on male elk (wapiti) that is made of bone and is shed and regrown annually. Unlike horns, which are permanent and made of keratin, antlers are branched structures that develop during the spring and summer, reaching full size by late summer. They are used during mating season for display and combat against rival males. Elk antlers are also sought after for their decorative and crafting value, as well as for use in traditional medicine.
