I don't believe you have bad genes, bad genes would be a 3.5 year old that has nothing more than a small rack, a 1.5 year old spike doesn't mean bad genes, it could be nutrition and obvious age. A spike can become a booner if given the opportunity to age.

James Vee, I couldn't agree more and I'm suprised at some of the replies here, it's old school talk.

Perhaps the second picture is the first guy's son?
Probably his younger brother. Unless you want that deer, let him go.

They don't look to be more than 1 1/2 or yearling. If you have a good buck/doe ratio, with alot of bigger bucks, he prolly wont get to breed much if any at all.

Those spikes are only 1.5 year old deer, not the same one. A lot of first year bucks are only spikes. If you shoot them all don't start complaining that you have no older bucks because you'll get no sympathy here.

I agree with James. I would need more proof that it is the same deer. I had two twin 4 pointers behind my house last year and I swear I saw one of them the other morning with the same rack. That same night I saw two twin 8 pointers and the four pointer was with them. I did see quit a few spikes last year, so I m going to say that at least one of the spikes grew into a four pointer this year. Good deer for a young hunter, but who knows what they will look like in two years.

Those are just 1 1/2 year old deer. Let them grow and you will be surprised what they will develop into.

I know they are different deer. Just not sure why they were so similiar, with a messed up side and spike on the other. Especially since we take 120+ deer from there each year...it was a new trait I was seeing and wasn't sure why. THanks for the reply.
