Most of the antlers come from the National Elk Refuge, an expanse of hills and meadows on the outskirts of Jackson where roughly eight thousand elk spend the winter. Jackson’s trademark is a town square with four archways each arch was made from some fourteen thousand pounds of antler. A large arch of intertwined elk antlers greets passengers as they arrive at the local airport, and, in town, antler chandeliers hang from tall ceilings at a high-end furniture store.
In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, some antlers are easy to find.
