Antler question for BSK

[Hillbilly Hunter]

How much more does this buck have the potential to grow? I was guessing 10 inches or so. I took this picture yesterday.

The deer's right side has a bit of a bulb still on it, he might grow a bit, but nothing much. I am no expert though, just an opinion.

 

[Shed Hunter]

Not bsk but........He'll definately grow none on mass and spread, probably none on the brows, a bit on the G2's/3's and his main beams will grow for sure.

10"? Depends how much more growin he has in him.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Main beams still are growing good (big bulbs). Each tine still has some little bulbs. Good deer

 

[BHC]

I wouldn't think 10" maybe 5" is my guess

 

[BSK]

Probably just a couple more inches. He looks almost done, with only a little growth left on the main beams and last tines.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

I was hoping he would put on more. Regardless of antler size I think he is old enough. I will know by fall.

 

[TheLBLman]

How old do you think he is?

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

3 to 4 years old. What do you think? And by the way, that is the shortest post I have seen you type!

Looks atleast 4 to me

:grin:
I would guess him to be at least 3 1/2, but he could be 5 1/2, possibly even a super-healthy early born 2 1/2.
About the worst time of year to accurately guess age.

About the worst time of year to accurately guess age.

yes it is!

I would feel confident with at least 3 from that picture, but more pictures from different angles would help.
