The season for cutting deer antlers starts from January to March of the lunar calendar. Antlers can only be cut once a year. Some healthy deer will have another time to cut their antlers, but they will be smaller and of lower quality than the antlers of the main season. Deer antlers from the time they grow to 40-50 days old are qualified for cutting. The cutting of antlers must be at the right age, not too old or too young, which will affect the quality of the antlers as well as ensure the health of the deer so that they can regenerate on time next year.

According to Mr. Le Tran Trang, a long-time deer breeder in Quynh Vinh commune, from October of the previous year to January of the following lunar year, it is necessary to focus on nourishing deer to stimulate antlers. In addition to feeding them with common vegetables, breeders will mix in fatty foods such as corn, soybeans, and sticky rice to increase nutrients, helping deer grow healthily and have large antlers.
