Thread: How does antler growth work?

much of our bush especially North Island just will not produce antler's of any real size - why because the greenery that had the good nutrients in it are now gone- the genetics are still there but nutrients are not - areas with very low deer numbers and no goats will be the exception - stags with access to top dressed pasture especially high clover content yes they will produce - South Island producing some good heads in places but I bet its in areas with lower numbers and no goats like Fiordland - just get out and do your bit and shoot with a BBQ later enjoy
