[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5791141, member: 16465"] Starting at age 4, in the spring is when they start growing, they don't start the season growing antlers at age 4.5. At 4.5 would be about when they stop growing antlers for that season. Agree that for the most part their skeletal system is done growing by 4 and more growth goes to their antlers. Adult deer antlers typically show more growth between 3.5 and 4.5. I have read that from multiple sources over the years, and the reasoning is exactly what you said, you just have the aging off by a half year 😉 [/QUOTE]
