Afton, a small town in western Wyoming, has been the proud owner of the world's largest arch constructed entirely of elk antlers since 1958. There are, in fact, over 3,000 antlers in this intricate arch that stretches 75 feet across the four-lane Highway 89. No elks were harmed in its construction, as the male mammals shed their antlers after each mating season.

At the center of the arch are two male elks locking horns – to see the real deal, head to Wyoming’s National Elk Refuge where the arch's antlers were collected.
