No wonder you midwest fellas get such huge bucks, they practically grow antlers all year.. No, but seriously here in the wv northern panhandle i dont usually start seeing the antlers start til may.

I have only been getting a pic of one animal that hadn't lost both horns yet and he was a young 8 pointer that has carried his right side now for over a month. It's about right though, I generally see bucks every Turkey seaon with "stumps".

That is as early as I have ever seen horns starting to grow. Here in Southeast Va., I have not seen any growth yet. I bet we will see growth within the next month.

when do the antlers reach the point that they are fully grown?

kshunter

It depends, but from what i've seen usually in the month of August, give or take a month depending on your location.
