Antlers

spin off from the other thread...how much more growth would we see in mule deer before the velvet starts to shed in sept?

You'll see minimal or no antler growth after the velvet is gone. Velvet is a layer that provides blood flow and supplies to the antlers to grow; therefore once it is gone, not a lot of growth will occur.

You will still see a fair amount on the biggest deer but the 2 or 3 points should not have too much more to grow.

*this will all depend on their nutrient intake...if there is little feed the antler growth will slow*
