Each year in the fall after breeding the elk and deer’s antlers drop off, which I found amazing, these massive horns grow from their heads with the sole purpose of fighting for females then they just drop off their heads, I gotta think that must feel very strange for them, all the sudden their heads are 10 pounds lighter. Â Since collecting and selling the antlers from public lands is forbidden, they instead created antler arches in the town square:
