No. White-tailed deer bucks usually will grow out of their "cow horns" (also known as spikes) when they get in their second and third consecutive years. Often spikes occur in young bucks that are only a year old, (though genetics and nutrition have been known to play a factor in how large the antlers of such a species of deer get), and as they get older, they get bigger, more branching antlers.

However, there have been stories of old bucks past their prime getting nothing but spikes the next year. But that is merely anecdotal, it's unsure whether that may be true in real life or not.
