Kevin Monteith is back, this time busting up the myths surrounding antler size vs age of bucks and bulls. This episode will surprise more than a few hunters. How antlers grow with age has been speculated on for decades, but with more access to accurate lab aging, and researchers like Kevin, a whole body of evidence is showing that what we think isn't always the case. Do antlers peak at five years old, or seven? Do antlers regress as a buck or bull reaches his later years? Also, can an elk really have a nine-foot antler spread? Robby and Kevin discuss these questions and more in today's episode on Antler size vs Age.
