Original Note:
Even though the post may appear to be a joke, it is still important to clarify that no deer were harmed. Deers shed their antlers once a year in late winter. A drop in testosterone after the rut causes weakness in the connection tissue and the antlers fall off painlessly. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/160307-moose-drops-antler-video-wyoming https://community.legendarywhitetails.com/blog/why-do-some-bucks-shed-their-antlers-early/ https://animalhype.com/mammals/do-deer-shed-their-antlers-every-year/
