Antler shed from a local deer. I put black-tailed deer as a placeholder since they are usually found around here

Neat fork pattern! I’m not too knowledgeable about black-tailed deer in particular, but I do know that in mule deer, the tines fork in a somewhat even branching pattern as seen here, while in white-tailed deer the tines all emerge from a main branch.
