we call these spikes button bucks up here in the north country--these are prized animals here in wi. These are your future big bucks---spikes you are talking about in articles have horns anywhere from 3 inches to up to 12 inches these are generally 1 and 1/2 years old sometime older---some studies say yes cull some d o not, what I see is most smallish spikes grow bigger but not trophy status ! leave the button bucks alone shoot the short horned spikes is my opinion H H
