I’ve found that the older the buck the more pronounced those bumps are. I’ve killed some older bucks that those bumps were so big you could almost count them as a point. Especially in Missouri.

Most biologists refer to it as “pearling” or beading. Generally an indication of good nutrition during the antler growing period. Most common in older bucks IMO due to the fact that in years 1-4, most of the nutrition consumed is used for skeletal and body development. Once fully grown physically, racks are more prone to be expressive of nutritional variables . Cool. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Abolt.

Those bumps are like notches on a guys belt.  Truthfully you don’t see them on young deer typically and you don’t usually see them on deer with inferior racks. Other than that I have no idea.

I was told by an old man once that if you wanted to see a deer have a lot of those on it's antlers to feed them roasted soybeans. Which goes back to the nutrition side. better the nutrition more you will see i guess.
