Default Something wrong?

Not in my neck of the woods. Button bucks are button bucks (born in June). And spikes are spikes usually 1.5. Now about 10 years ago I shot a 3 point, but he was aged at 8.5 years old. I knew it before I shot him though, been on my property his entire life, he used to be a respectable 8 point, just couldn't get a shot during legal light. Molars were wore down to darn near nuth'n.

Looks like a fawn buck to me, not too much bigger than the stand platform. What did it weigh? Any way, some good eating.
