I dont get why they dont just make shooting spikes illegal for anyone over 18... A leagal buck should be 2 points on 1 side or more
Here in CNY, 55% of the 1 1/2 year old bucks are 3 pts or better.
Probably 80% are 2 or more.
Why would you ever want to target these and protect the 20% - makes no sence at all.

The area of NY i hunt has god awful genetics... About 80 percent of yearlings are spikes, and about half of the 2.5 year olds are as well. Been like that for 20 years ( and only like 10 bucks have been killed in that time)
