Default Antler Growth

By late June and early July, what percentage of antler growth has been accumulated for the year?

The only reason I ask is the other day I noticed a dead whitetail lying in a field near our farm. I went to further investigate and found whatwould have beena promising buck in a few years(He was obviously in full velvet). It had been hit on the road but ended up dying in the field.

I was a little disappointed when I left since the buck wasn't hit but 200 yards from the 10 acre woods behind our farm I am planning on bowhunting this year.

It's been a while since I have visited the site but since season is just around the corner I figured I would drop in and educate myself again.

This buck was far from mature, but what percentage of antlermass is present around this time?
