As far as mammals are concerned...
Horns have a bony core and are generally found in both males and females of a given mammal species. Antlers are basically made simply of keratine; they're a bunch of hair hardened, tangled and glued together. Antlers tend to be very diminished or even absent in females of the mammalian species that have them.
Horns are a permanent feature. Antlers are shed and re-established every year.
