I definitely think the full potential of antler growth will not be completely reached as a result of the dry water year we have been experiencing, but spring and early summer precip can be key to increasing vegetation vigor. In turn, antlers will have a chance to approach or reach their full potential.

Their have been a few studies and articles produced over the recent years on this very topic. Sniff around on the internet a bit and better inform yourself. It's amazing what you can dig up.
