Was in New Mexico last week and saw elk still holding antlers and some with 16” of growth. Age, hormone levels, health, genetics all play a part in antler drop. So unhealthier or less stressed keep antlers longer?

Out here as we speak and have seen a lot of mule deer bucks with 6-8" of new growth on them, most look pretty shaggy cause they still shedding the winter coat.....
