[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5382593, member: 1409"] Many antler characteristics are much akin to human fingerprints regarding how they don't change configuration over time. Between 2 1/2 & 6 1/2, whitetail antlers generally grow each year remarkably similar to the prior year, but usually gain "mass" (particularly the circumference 1 inch above the hairline), as well as a propensity to grow "sticker" tines (usually relatively short, but longer each year). Sticker points become increasingly common on bucks that reach 5 1/2 or older. They are most commonly going to grow near the bases, as well as off the G2 tines. These "non-typical" points are much of what gives fully mature bucks their more unique character and more special trophy status. [/QUOTE]
