Got this buck on camera at my Wyoming place.

Date is correct - Aug 1st

How much more growing do you think he has?

Nice buck! I don't think he'll add much more size, but just my guess.

He's pretty much there, maybe a little more mass.

as we enter August almost all antler development is calcification/hardening of the antlers so most likely very little actual inches added

 

[eyeguy]

Agreed, he is very nearly done no more than an inch on the tips and probably less than that. When they loose that soft big rounded appearance they are done.

If anything like mountain mulies, not much more has been my experience. I'll guess 1/2 inch per point (except G1, they're done), so 3".

flame away!!! Lol

As stated above, sure he is about done growing. Usually by the end of July, beginning of august, they are pretty much done growing.

He's done growing. Just hardening now.

He won't grow much more if you get a chance to put a bullet in him.

If nothing else, it's crazy how much those guys can grow out of their heads in 4-5 months. Even more incredible when you think about Elk and Moose.
