Antler Growth?
So on average how many inches does a buck's antlers grow from the previous year? I know many factors play a role, the buck in question is a mountain deer with no farms around. Got him on cam two nights in a row on the last two days of August 2012 he was fully out of velvet but never got him on cam again nor did I see him while hunting. Buckscore.com scored him at 122.5" with 22" spread. Understand this is big for this area I hunt.

I would score him higher then that. I would guess him at 132 is. His mass isn't bad and he has pretty nice tine length and inside spread and brows. Maybe even 138ish. If he was a 10pt it would push him into the 140's. Thats my take. He's gonna be a nice one this year. Without having a closer look it's hard to say though.
My guess he's 3 1/2 and gonna start putting some mass on him this year. Goodluck.
