While buck elk rub the leather off their racks yearly does their whole rack come off also?
Actually they are bull elk and what is on their antlers is velvet. It is a tissue (like skin) that provides the antlers nutrition while they are in the growth stage. As the seasons progress the bull's hormones change and the tissue begins to die. He then rubs it off on trees and produces his polished antlers. After the mating season (rut) hormones will change again and he will shake off his antlers to grow a new set for the next year.

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.
