Mule deer antler growth

[AM_Hunter]

Saw a nice mule deer scouting this weekend, antlers were large forks, likely decently large, and big body too. Any idea if he will grow into a 3x3 before he stops growing?

Hard to say without a picture, might just be a decent fork

Here’s a bachelor group my wife and I spotted on a scouting trip this weekend in South Dakota

His antlers were very similar to the buck to the far right in Daktota_Rookie's post above, but they went a little more straight up, and no third point on his left side like this one.

Lowland ag bucks are coming along in Oregon

If he didn’t have super thick/ heavy bulbous ends, or buds coming off, he will likely only be a fork horn
