hey guys i need help. i have a 2 inch spike hanging out in my area. i thought he was a big yearling but his body is the same size as a 4 point 1 1/2 year old. also he is chaseing does like he is an old pro. what do you think should i take him out to better the heard or hope he is a yearling and give him another year? i' m afraid if given the chance to breed he will. well let me know. thanks

Let him go. He' s just a young deer more than likely. He' s 1 1/2 but just short on his first rack. I' ve seen button bucks chase does and worry them to death. I had a button run a fawn doe by me one day, I though for sure a big one was after her. This button came through about 1 minute after her with his nose to the ground just grunting up a storm. I know he was a button as he stopped right under my tree with his tongue hanging out.... and then tore off after her with his nose to the ground like the big boys.

In PA he is considered a doe. Must have three inch' s. I wouldn' t worry about him breeding. Spikes don' t always have bad genes.

I too would let him go another season.
