The antlers start growing back almost immediately after they shed them.....most should be at there peek now with full velvet .....I seen a nice 8 pointer 2 weeks ago in full velvet......not quite sure when they shed the velvet, probably start rubbing and scraping it off soon though I would think
About a month left of growing still. They keep growing and harden a lot til Mid september when they start to shed their velvet.
A 12 point buck will have all his points right now, but he could still growth tine and main beam length/mass.
I have seen antlers while turkey hunting, from a distance I thought it had 4 ears. Had to get the glasses out to see what was up. So in mid May the ones I have seen are about the same length as their ears.
I saw a deer scouting on one of the pieces of property I hunt that had a massive velvet rack on it yesterday. I believe it may be "Hightower" from last year and if it is I'll be holding a tag just for him he was easy 130" deer last year and through the spotting scope Wednesday night he's grown up a lot

You'll get growth, thought slower now thru to September, velvet stats to shed/rub off as the weather begins to cool, sounds like you have a goal to achive this year, good luck and let us know how you make out.
As the antlers grow their's a bulb at the end of the antler.once it disappears it's finish growing.
