RE: spikes
I understand how people want to fill their freezers, but why do it with tiny bucks that have not been given a chance to grow. For young people who are just starting, of course, shoot whatever you want. they need experience. but for older people who have a little experience, why not let them go for a couple of years. after that you'll have quite a few mature bucks you can harvest so the younger ones have a chance to grow instead of killing the spikes and basket racks every year.
