They are probably growing for a couple more weeks.
They will stop growing until such time as they get shot in August, September, and October. Upon being shot, they grow like crazy for the first eight hours, followed by slower growth over the coming months thereafter, with growth even further diminishing in the years following.
In all but the rarest cases, growth usually stops when the hunter shoots one that is bigger than the buck in question.
Growth officially stops when an official measurer breaks out his tape, at which time bucks usually reverse their growth by shrinking significantly in the few minutes that elapses while on the scorers table.
Just a strange thing that happens.
I hear tales that such post-mortem growth is not specific to antelope.
