RE: Antler growth...
 

No offence, but are some of you guys serious? A first year deer (6 mo old) has buttons, a 1.5 year old has spikes up to, very very rairly, 10 points. For my area of the midwest: 2.5 year olds go anywhere from 80" to 130", 3.5 year olds go 120" to 150" and occasionally higher, 4.5 year olds are in the 130" - skies the limit range. This is a very generall rule.
