Deer Feed Impacts Growth and Antler Development
Penn State studies by A Long and Robert L Cowan show captive deer fed from late spring to nutritious forage may reach about double the usual Pennsylvania size. In recent years legal bucks average around 115 pounds. Short feed in March and April seems not to affect final antler size, though moss rubbing and antler growth are delayed.
