To understand when deer shed their antlers, you have to understand why they have them in the first place. Deer have antlers to attract an impress female deer and to fight off competition. Therefore, they are only needed during the mating season. Deer in North America shed their antlers between January and April, depending on what area of the country you are in. The process takes about two or three weeks, and both antlers may not come off at the same time.
The ability to shed antlers allow the deer to begin growing a new set over the summer and replace any damages (broken points, etc) that occured during mating season. Each season the deer's antlers will typically get a little bigger and broader. While growing, the antlers are covered in a velvety fleshy covering that is enfused with blood. Once the antlers have reached their full length, the blood flow through this velvet stops, it drys up and falls or is scraped off by the deer. Once the velvet is off the antlers, they will not grow anymore that year.
