High in the Rocky Mountains among the aspens, the pines, and the jagged peaks, roam the Colorado Mule Deer and the magnificent Elk. In the late summer and fall, these animals mate. During this mating season, the males do combat for superiority.

Their antlers are very much a part of this struggle. Here also the elk and deer forage for food and survival in the cold, harsh winters. The new fawns and calves are born in the spring. During these early spring months, the males shed their antlers by rubbing them against trees and brush. In the late spring and early summer, new antlers begin to appear. In the summer months, cowboys, hikers and senior citizens gather the shed antlers.
