ELI5 what causes antlers to become larger as a deer ages, even though they're shed and regrown every year?

Part of it is genetic. The antlers is designed to fork more as the deer ages. But it is also based on how much stored up energy the deer have. The bigger the deer the bigger their antlers will be regardless of how many forks they have.
