RE: Mule deer

All ungulates shed their antlers so a mule deer most definately sheds their antlers. I have found several.

Antlers are shed, horns keep with the animal. Deer have antlers, sheep have horns etc.

RE: Mule deer

So what would an antelope be considered. It sheds the outer sheath from its horns every year?

RE: Mule deer

Antelope are the one exception--the have horns even though the outer parts are shed--I watch a lot of discovery channel
