However...IMO, the majority of the spikes out there do not fall into this catagory. They are more likely late born deer, that have used up all their energy developing thier bodies...leaving little left for their first set of antlers
I agree..
I see lots of spikes where I hunt. Yet most of the mature deer I see have decent head gear.
Since I do not shoot Trad..........I let em walk........[:-][:-]
