If Thats a 6.5 year old dear.....I'll I'll I don't know what I'll do, but thats not a 6.5 year old deer. Thats a 1.5 old. You can tell by looking at it. My Uncle is a wildlife biologist. He says spikes on average are late born fawns. He said they're usually from yearling does bred in the second, or even third rut. He said occasionally though bucks can be passed on the spike gene, but just because they're a spike doesn't mean they won't be a trphy. They had a penned spike that ended up scoring 169 at 6.5
