Sorry guy's, i know we have probably beatin this topic to death but I would like to ask it again.

First, the reason I'm asking is b/c I got a book (Whitetail Wisdom) from NAHC today and started thumbing through it. There is a section in here called "Should We Shoot Spikes"? I know when were talking about management practices we say "let them go and let them grow". In this book it talks about statistics (offspring of a spike and his potential).

A statement out of this book is " the best time to tell if a buck's antler development is inferior is when he is 1.5 years old. This is when he is easiest to age and the most vulnerable for harvest" This book also makes the coment that if a deer doesn't have good antler development at 1.5 (he's not a fork horn) then he most likely never will. How many of you agree with this and what is your views on it?
