From what I can tell the biggest jump In Inches/growth Is from 1.5 to 2.5 and then 2.5 to 3.5. This past year my neighbor from across the road shot a 135" 4.5 year old 8 point during gun season. The previous year he had found his shed from his left side. Hardly any growth but mass on his rack compared to the year before and the food supply was good through out the year. That buck at the most gained 8" I figured. I know they usually do a little better then that from 3.5 to 4.5 but that's how he was.
Steve, I've also seen the biggest jumps between 1.5 - 2.5 and 2.5 - 3.5 After that they will add inches, but not at the rate they did those years mentioned
