I have seen spikes that started out with 6 inch antlers 3 and 4 years ago that now have 16 to 20 inch spikes the same holds true with the fork horns. True i do see more 6 and 8 point bucks, however they are older too. Some are huge and all they ever have is small baskets. I blame TV hunters for all of this "deer management". People see the huge racks on TV and wonder why they can't have tropheys like that on every hunt. They can have them if they want to fence off land, spend $10,000 or more on food plots and supplaments and only let a select few hunt there for only 3 or 4 days a year. As for me I can't eat antlers and could care less if I ever shot a 150 class buck.(not saying I wouldn't if the chance presented it self) Just in general.
Can someone say "management bucks" I don't care what the law was, if I saw 3.5yo spikes etc... they'd be going down!
