Not to make you worry oranything (), but ive noticed that smaller 1.5 year olds (spikes and forks) grow into smaller bucks. Don't start laughing...because i have read that it doesn't matter what size a deer is when its 1.5. I believe it does though. I can tell you right now that those two droptine 3.5 year olds i have running aroundwere not spikes. I also know that a 3 point i passed 4 times last year is now a 5 point. He's still young, but he's not at the caliber of 2.5 year old bucks that im used too for my area. Most 2.5 year olds around here are 8 points in the 90-120 range (of course..my train of though could possibly be off by a year, but thats not the feeling i get).
