Default Slow growing Iowa Bucks? Whats up with that?

I've just been doing some comparisons of my bucks to your guys bucks. It seems that all my bucks are still on the first stages of their growth. Many still only have the little nubsof velvet. Few are starting to form the brow tines.
I have no doubt that they will start growing big time later on but are you Iowa folks like this also?

If you have any Iowa pictures post them up!

Some of the bucks shedded their antlers a little late so that might have something to do with it.

I am from northern Iowa, and we have got some bucks with 10 inch tines already. The rest have grown at least grown 12" beams.

No I have nothing out. Never have, but we still mangage to see and harvest great deer every year. Our deer have just been feeding on the alfalfa fields, corn, and bean fields.

Every individual buck is different. Look at me, Freak Daddy had 10 inch main beams in early May, while some of my bucks still have just 2-3 inches of antler now in June. All that matters is what they look like in October.

Yes I guess that is true, but all my bucks are about the same. They must all be related.

And Siman, you can't bring freak daddy into this conversation because he's a freak. [:'(]Just teasing.
