antler rack

Deer trophy mount

An antler rack is the full set of antlers on a deer, elk, moose, or similar animal.

Hunters and wildlife observers use the term to describe the branching bone structure as a unit: That buck has an impressive rack.

The word rack alone often suffices in context: a twelve-point rack.
