I saw the show also and jochs is correct. Ted was referring to 2.5 year old bucks. I also believe a spike at that age is a sign of inferior genetics.
Yes. I saw the show too and he did in fact say 2.5 years and older,and i agree with Turc that it is probably a genetic problem at that age. Maybe not as much at 2.5 as it is at 3.5yrs. At that age they should definitely be taken out of the herd if you want quality deer in your herd.
