At 5.5yo only 130-140 ?????

He's done !!

A 3.5yo deer should be measuring out around that.

When you watch the Drury outdoor videos, you constantly see them pas 2.5yos in the 120-140 range.

A buck at 2.5yo is at 34% of his max antler growth. At 3.5yo, he is at 64% ofhis maxmax. At 4.5yo, he is at 85% of his max. At 5.5yo, he is at his maximum antler growth. Now, OBVIOUSLY....some deer will grow bigger at 6.5. However, from 6.5yo on, a buck is usually declining, overall.
