Finding White-Tailed Deer Antlers

Once you know how to identify white-tailed deer antlers, you can start looking for them. The best time to look for antlers is in the spring, after the deer have shed their antlers. However, you can also find antlers throughout the year, especially in areas where deer are known to congregate.

There are a few different ways to find white-tailed deer antlers. One way is to simply walk through the woods and look for them on the ground. Another way is to look for deer sign, such as tracks, droppings, and rubs. If you find deer sign, it's a good indication that there are deer in the area, and you may be able to find their antlers.

You can also use a metal detector to find white-tailed deer antlers. Metal detectors are especially helpful in areas where there is a lot of vegetation, as they can help you to locate antlers that are buried or hidden.

Retrieving White-Tailed Deer Antlers

Once you have found a white-tailed deer antler, you need to be able to retrieve it. The best way to retrieve an antler is to use a pair of pliers or a knife to cut it off the ground. Be careful not to damage the antler when you are retrieving it.

Once you have retrieved the antler, you can clean it and prepare it for use. To clean an antler, simply wash it with soap and water. You can then dry the antler and apply a sealant to protect it from the elements.

Finding white-tailed deer antlers can be a fun and rewarding experience. By following the tips in this guide, you can increase your chances of finding antlers and adding them to your collection.
