I was talking to good friend and former BHO staffer Gene price at trophy rock the other day and we got on the topic of antler growth and the amount of time they have to grow them. Now Gene knows more about this subject than I do but i had a question that we both couldn't answer. If a buck looses his antlers in dec and another buck carries his til late march and there both the same age and size, will the buck that dropped in dec be bigger the following yr? There's a lot to this giving they'd both need the same amount of protein, minerals ect... But it got me thinking. Also, they say bucks that are born early drop early. What's everyone's thought on this? Gene is going to ask grant woods his opinion but I thought its one worth exploring.
