When POLLED for comment, opinion vARIES on how distasteful 'horny' jokes are. However, everyone agrees that inSHOFAR as this gal is concerned, EWE should stay far away from them. If you trip that verbal LAMB mine, you're likely to get disemVOWEL ed.

Okay. No jokes then. But I *did* paint up a pair of reproduction horns like those today, coincidentally enough. Also, as a random educational fact for the day, for those that were not aware, the difference between horns and antlers are that antlers are shed every year and grow back (Deer) and horns stay on. (Sheep, cows)
Voila. And now we all know!

wait....I thought you could tell the age of a deer by the points on the rack? do they really loose them every year?

Nope. They shed and grow new ones each year. Antler diameter, and mass, as well as number of points are determined mostly by nutrition, and a little by genetics. A mild winter with plenty to eat usually means a nicer rack. A yearling can be a ten pointer, and a 5 year old can be a spike (Only two points) depending on how much they get to eat.
And it can vary, the same deer may grow any number of points from year to year. They start budding out from the skull in April-May. They are in 'velvet' at this point and are actually more or less stiff flesh. By August & September, they're converting over to a bony material underneath, and the velvet on the outside starts peeling off.
They may bleed some as the deer rub their antlers against trees and such to get the velvet off. October and November are the fighting months for breeding season. And if they're not broken off at this time, they tend to fall off naturally sometime between December and March. At least, that holds for *most* North American deer. The seasons may vary, but the cycle holds true for most deer.
Except for the Chinese, or Korean water deer. Because they don't have antlers, but grow fang like tusks. They're kind of cute in a creepy way. Oh, and does can grow antlers too. It doesn't happen often, but when they do, they usually stay pretty small.
If an animal has horns, they tend to grow in spurts during the summer, and slow down in the fall, creating grow rings, much like a tree, and you can judge an animals age, as well as health through the years by measuring them.

There are plenty of horrible puns to make about this, but I feel it would be unwise to drone on about it.
