I don't believe that spikes have any problem developing, this has been a heated topic in the whitetail world for many years. I have seen more evidence and heard more experts say not to cull young spikes that i still let them go in order to grow.
I agree bhunter50. I also think it depends on where you are hunting... up here in the NE, many year and a half old deerare spikes / 3 pointers. No management and not the best nutrition either.
