That is such a drastic increase the only thing I could find to make me believe it was the same deer was the scar. Hes a monster, more than worthy of an arrow. Depending on age....would you let him go another year. Because you know if you shoot him now, you'll be wondering what he would look like next year.......I'd blast em.

When a deer has plenty of food and can age great things can happen. Like his system now focused on antler growth instead of body growth.
Where deer are stressed for food their system is focused on body growth.
This shows 1 Location theroy is 100% correct and 2 given a chance a whitetail can grow a lot of bone in a year under the right conditions
