Looking for opinions on spikes-do you let them walk or take them out as genetically inferior? I have seen opinions both ways. Here in kansas we are only allowed one antlered tag so in is hard to spend it on a spike, especially this early in the year. To date I have seen two spikes that had brow tines. Both had relatively long spikes 8-10 inches and appeared to be 18 month old dear. From some sources I have read these deer will grow decent racks as they mature. I would like to hear your opinions and especially anyone out there that might have some background in deer management.
