Shed antler collection

At Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge

Male white-tailed deer shed their antlers each year sometime between late winter and early spring. Part of their natural growing process, these deer will regrow antlers again as the spring season progresses. Visitors are allowed to collect antler sheds for personal use only; it is not permissible to sell or trade shed antlers.
