Every deer is different, so there's no way to know. Best thing is to not worry about it and let them do what they do. It's also worth noting that you certainly have more than one buck around.

Like M. Magis said there is no way to tell, depends on the individual deer. But the average whitetail buck will have its biggest jump in antler size between 3.5 and 4.5 years of age.
As far as feeding minerals supplements, they only beneift deer in supplying them with a source of salt and you would have to spend a ton of $$ to see any benefit from protein pellets. Pike

I agree with what J PIKE SAID.
It really depends on the deer,genetics etc,etc.And yes they will Usually have a mature set of antlers at 3.5-4.5 yrs.of age.
