Bama,
Fromall sources that I've read, antlers are fully grown by late August/early September. June is really no indicator as deer antlers can grow as much as 1/2" per day in the peak growing season. In June, they are growing like crazy. Look for late August.
If it's any consolation, if you saw a nice rack in June.....


Yep..... I have pics in My trail cam of a deer in June and then August 8th .... Huge difference, I mean well over 4 to 5 inch difference per tine.
