    Just pulled the cards last night and found two potential shooters showing up every day for the past week One is a clean and perfect 8pt and the other is an 8 with a kicker coming off each base (10). The 8 looks fully developed-not sure how much longer his tines could possibly get but the 10 is wide but his tines look like they really could take off (looks like he grew his frame already). My question is how much more do you think a buck will grow antler wise between now and shedding velvet in September> I’m not Dr. Deer, but I sure hope he puts on some tine length what do you guys think?

    Every buck is different and grows different parts of his antlers differently also. Some will grow right up to Sept 1 and some are all but done growing by Aug 1st. I generally say if they still have blood filled knobs they are still growing in that area. If they have thinned out and lost the black tips they are maxed out on that tine.

    The knobs are definitely still there on the short buck. The other one is thinned out. Thanks!
