I believe its like 4 to 6 inches a day. I'll be shed hunting and see bulls with both velvet eyeguards standing next to bulls that havent dropped yet, in late April. I thought i read somewhere it could be like 2 inches a day, and that was really healthy ones. Elk are 4 to 6 a day and deer are around 1 to 2 a day

I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. But I just seen a buck with 2" velvet nubs.

It is going to be March. From what I have read about antler growth it depends mostly on the bucks condition. I still have a 3 point with last years growth and have seen the young ones still carring then in early April here. I keep my camera out year round just to watch what happens with the antlers. I usually start seeing new growth in mid to late April.
