Largest Elk Bull Sheds His Antlers

The Sheriff, this areas largest Elk Bull has shed his antlers a couple days earlier than last year. Every Year he seems to shed his antlers earlier as larger Bulls do to get a jump start on growth for the following Rutting Season. It will be incredible to witness this genetically gifted icon entering another Rut this coming Fall! The Elk Rut in Canada's Rockies..

You know how your head feels lighter after a haircut, can you imagine those dropping off your head, he probably thought he was going to float away lol

[SongMom]

I can’t even imagine what it feels like to carry that huge rack around. Gorgeous animals, I love elk.

[darcitorgerson]

It's crazy how fast they grow back!!

[meghanvidler]

Can you imagine how large his next set are going to be. No wonder they get all lopsided initially when they only throw one antler.

That’s when I come running out of the bushes and grab the sheds and yell
“Thank you Elk!!” And head home to mount them beautiful things on my wall.

Good one WOV. They drop their antlers each year and they refuse to lose their appetite. To lose their antlers has to be a strain relief on the bulls' necks eh?

After reading some of these comments, I think there is a huge lack of knowledge of NATURE. People, get off your games, your iPad or your phones and get out in the woods. Mother Nature is amazing.

I wonder if it hurts when they snap off.

Unusual fact about deer antlers:

In order to grow them, the males suffer osteoperosis as a result of most of their calcium going straight to their antlers during growth. Their skeleton even get stripped of calcium, so they are more liable to fracture a bone.

Needless to say, it must be a huge relief to be free of their antlers.

Is it just me or does he sound like an old creaky gate?

[ceepark]

We get elk come through our back pasture routinely and never have I seen a shed elk rack.

[kathleenlingenfelder]

Does anyone know if the area where the antlers were, is sore to touch ? It looks like it would be.

[SteveLrka]

What the hell!!??? I thought they just shed the outter layer like a skin. Do those horns grow back? Like how often does this happen!

[seldramariaoliveiradossant]

[pamsamaroo]

I know none of us can definitely answer this or maybe yall can. How do they know when it’s time to shed the antlers?

[thewatcher]

I wonder what it feels like for them to come off like they do I wonder if it feels like popping knuckles

[CamperVan-K]

That must feel like losing a tooth or something. Are antlers bones?
