I wish I could say the same. I'm not hunting ,but I do alot of spotting around my house and I never seen so many spikes in my life in the SE corner of the state in the agricultural area. On a piece of property this morning I seen 1 8 pt about 14 inch spread 4 little basket racks and 3 spikes about 2 to 3 inches long. And this place was always a big buck hang out. Not sure whats going on????
