elk antlers

Cervid head ornaments

Elk antlers are the branching bony growths that male elk shed and regrow annually.

They're prized as decorations, crafting materials, and dog chews.

Shed antlers are gathered in the wild; attached antlers come from hunted animals.

Elk antlers make excellent natural chews for large dogs.
