When do antlers stop growing?

rritchy, Our bucks are pretty much done growing by July 21st. and shed their velvet by the 3rd of Sept. I have never even seen a buck still in velvet by mid Sept. in PA. let alone still growing in mid Sept. Pike

It all depends on your location. The earlier the rut, ( as in down south) the earleir the antlers harden. In the upper Midwest, they should be hard by mid to late August, because they will shed velvet aroubnd the first of September. They will add 1 inch per day total gtowht until the quit grwoing.

The deer I have seen here in Indiana appear to be getting very close to the hardening stage. They still have a little bit of the club feature to their antlers but for the most part they appear done with the intial growing.
