1.5's at Dan's place in NY:





They tend to be bigger in body at Dan's place, but smaller in rack size as compared to my place in PA.

1.5's at my place in PA:

Ive also seen a spikewith maybe 1" spikes so 1.5 varies greatly here

This one here is a 1.5 year old, he's got great potential!! He's an 8 point.

Here is a 1.5 year oldin myneck of the woods. http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc232/twildasin/DSCN1852.jpg

This smart arse had to be 1.5 last fall.

This is a pretty typical 1.5 year old for my area. Most of the 1.5 y.o's have a 6-8 point rack and they all pretty much have the same shape/look. Decent main beams but short tines and little mass.

Here are the 1.5's that I got on camera this year.







And a good example of how much they can grow in a couple years, especially body size.



One comment I would make on the subject is that a good or bad year (wet year, drought, etc.) can have as much influence on the size of the deer's antlers as anything. Thiswas a great spring and summer here, if we continue with things as things are this year all our 1.5's may be spikes next year.

From this 4pt being an average 1.5 yr old to the basket 8pt being a 'big' 1.5 yr old

Here's a 1.5 year old by me.....Central Wisconsin
