Hi all, I'm looking for some insight on the typical growth patterns of Mule Deer antlers. In your experience, when do they tend to reach full growth for the year? I've been doing quite a bit of scouting this summer and the smaller bucks I found this weekend looked full grown to me. Their points looked like they fully tapered off at the tips. But the bigger bucks I found didn't have the same look. Their points looked "nubby" and round on the ends as if there was quite a bit more growing left for them. Is there a general time of year that you'd say mature bucks tend to be finished growing by?
