Default RE: Deer antler growth progression?

This is a big debate where im from. Im not too good at scoring small bucks, but most 1.5's are normal 6 and 8 points with little mass and a spread smaller then the ears. I guess this is easier to do with pictures , so ill just post a buttload to show what i mean (bear with me brothas):

1.5 Year Old Bucks:









2.5 Year Old Bucks:







3.5 Year Old Bucks:








And possibly the super freak of the area (look at the body and we also have shed evidence he is a 3.5):



4.5+ Year Old Bucks:






Now every once in awhile we have deer that don't fit the mold, usually smaller and stunted 2.5 year old bucks with weird antlers, like these 3:








Sorry for the length of the post and the amount of pictures, but this is a topic im very interested in and have posted about before. And opinions would be great and im be keeping an eye on this one for awhile. Thanks guys!
