I'm still waiting on BSK's repley. I often wondered about that
very same question. How could it be, that a big buck could grow
that much antler in just a few months?

An inch a day keeps the hunter away.....till he's done growing

Good question. I'll have to put together a study to look into that. 
Personally, I think it's a myth...

It is pretty crazy that an animal can grow that much bone so quickly.
It seems like such an incredible waste of energy; to put so many invaluable body resources into something that will just be lost and have to be replaced the following year.
Of course, if they didn't fall off, bucks wouldn't have the opportunity to grow larger antlers as they get older. Obviously, having larger antlers with age is important to the Natural Selection process. The question is, how larger is large enough for Natural Selection to function properly?
