You mean start growing or fully grown? I have seen bucks start growing their antlers during turkey season down here(April, May). They will be done growing by Mid to late August. Really dont get an idea of how big they will be till July.

Well that goes to my theory weather &m diet, you live close to the coast, your spring is earlier than ours probably more fields, here where I live it's all trees & Mt's.
