In white-tailed deer, antler growth begins sometime during April or May. Unlike horns which grow from the base, antlers grow from the antler tip. Early growth is slow, but accelerates toward early summer when the antler may grow up to a quarter of an inch in length per day. The growing antlers are highly vascularized, and are quite warm to the touch.
