Antler growth rates

[Scott702]

Hey, just curious as to how far along the antlers are at this point? Obviously it's probably different for different areas but for a nevada/utah buck on average how far along would the antlers be in your guys open? I saw a couple bucks by Lund, Nevada while I was camping and just curious as to how much bigger they will get. One of the bucks looked like it was gonna be a nice typical come the fall!

Most of the bucks I see this time of the year are somewhere past their ears but not quite starting to fork yet and still have a lot of growing to do.

Thanks for the response! I thought they looked like they still had a lot of growing, but I wanted to make sure!
