RE: 2 inch spike versus 6 inch spike.........
it seems the time they were born most of the time. one early spring the other late.
my wife took a 3 point that weighted 125lbs.(most of our deer are BIG at that weight)his horns were 3 1/2" long. I am not real good on the teeth aging thing,but I guessed 3 to 4 years old.
it is something thats hard to understand.
I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest
remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
