Before And After In early to mid-March, bull elk start to drop the antlers they grew during the previous year and start to grow a new set. The bull on the left still has his antlers, while the bull on the right has dropped his. Antlers are some of the fastest growing animal tissue on the planet. In just a few days after a bull elk casts its antlers, a new set begins to grow. Growth is triggered by increasing daylight and subsequent testosterone production.
