Those bucks are finished.  The antlers are hardening.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

The antlers are still hardening and developing boniness but they will not grow longer.  They narrow down to a point as they harden...not growing to a point like a tree  ;)

  No more growth this season. I have three bucks where the velvet looks to be starting to dry and split so will be a week and they will start rubbing.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me
