Themajorityof antler growth takes place between the beginning of June and the end of July. It's hard to take a picture of a deer at the beginning/mid of June and determine how big he will be. You should be able to determine whether you are looking at a mature deer or an immature deer, but other than that you will not be able to make any accurate predictions.

Here are two examples of deer that I kept track of all of last year:

Deer #1, June 08, 2006


July 5th, 2006


Same deer, July 29, 2006
