I agree 100%, the same goes for the spike study they did. they took a number of 1 1/2yr bucks and seperated them by 3pts or less and over 3 pts......by the time the bucks were 3 1/2 the 3pts or less had completely caught up with the other bucks.
I also think there are no cull bucks for other reasons.....one being for every buck out there, there is a person who would think the buck is a trophy.
I agree I use to have the mentality of shoot every spike, but no more. Even if a spike doesnt become a booner, he will have at least 6 or 8 points when he's older, and that would make a trophy for a young shooter or first timer or even me.
