RE: to shoot or not
What does everyone consider a spike?? I have seen several 2 pt deer over the years but only 1 or 2 that I would truly say was a spike. I have always considered a spike as a deer with 2 antlers that grow staight up (like a unicorn). To me that deer won't be worth much, but I rarely see deer like this. On the otherhand, I see lots of immature 2 pointers that antlers are growing up and out with a defined mainbeam curvature. This deer will produce a rack of some sort in the next few years and should be allowed to pass IMO.
