LAST EDITED ON Nov-26-07 AT 05:31PM (MST)[p]I'm curious....when a mule deer buck grows his antlers, is the growth equal throughout the rack, that is to say all 4 tines (assuming a 4 pointer) will grow at the same rate? Or, would the mainbeam and tine "finish out" first with the rear forks completing their growth last, like on an elk? Just wondering if short fronts and longer rears could be accounted for by a dry spring and wet summer and fall, or visa versa in the case of a buck with large front forks and smaller rears?
Just something I've wondered, and would answer a question for me....
