    Only once a year.

    Once a year unless its a fluke in nature

    Each year after the rut.

  4. GUNNER says:

    once a year

    every year.

    This must be easier than actually looking up the answer on the internet. It is once a year.

    Nothing is more thrilling than seeing a nice rack walking towards you and then blasting it with a shotgun, or sticking it through the ribs with a razor sharp arrow. Then running up to it and cutting it’s throat to let it bleed out.

    Of course, you not being a hunter wouldn’t know that thrill.

    it’s once a year

    Once a yr. You have to kill to grill it.

    Once a year.

    And wall_id_pike, be respectful to those who do not hunt. Conduct yourself in a way that doesn’t give non-hunters the opinion that hunting is only about blood and guts. You’re really giving us a bad name and are not at all helping us gain popularity.

    after the rut hormone levels drop in the bucks body and they fall off once a year the new ones start growing back in a month or so

    once every year

  12. baywarrior says:

    the whitetail sheds the horns in the early spring and the horns start to grow through the summer and the hunting season starts and the whole thing starts all over

  13. CIH(Ret) says:

    White tail deer shed their antlers every year in the winter after the rutting season. Rarely will you see any white tail deer with antlers in the spring or summer. They will again start to regrow a set of antlers in the fall of each year prior to the rut.
