Buckmagnet, that is funny. I was laughing just reading about that spike. Really too bad about the deer being hit by vehicles. I've had much of the samething happen every year on the main road near my dads land, including a huge 10pt last year we were after. Another guy hit a decent 6pt last year also, and gutted the darn thing right in their yard leaving the guts behind!! It happens, and nothing you can do, accept maybe get some of the meat.
