)

I found two antelope sheds next to one another in Montana. After showing them off at camp it turned out to be two lefts.

I don't think antelope shed. . .

supposedly they do every year....only animal with horns that does.

jackelope · « **Reply #7 on:** March 06, 2009, 07:19:02 AM »

do they shed the whole horn or just the sheath?
i always thought they shed and regrew the sheath only.

chester · « **Reply #8 on:** March 06, 2009, 07:20:03 AM »

its just the sheath, but i think it would be cool to find one.

The way I understand it is they shed the sheath and it's rare to find them because they deteriorate fairly fast in the elements.

Could be wrong but this is the way it was explained to me.

I will keep my eye out what time of year do they shed their horns?

lewy · « **Reply #11 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:20:10 AM »

starting in november.

bow4elk · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:38:19 PM »

yes, it's the hair-like sheath. Pretty rare find. I found an old thunderhead broadhead and an indian arrowhead the same day...strange.

Love the red mud all over the truck, brings back some good memories of elk hunting! Looks fun!
