I saw a buck on the side of the road a week ago with thick 4-5 inch "stumps". I hate to call them spikes, because you can tell he would be much bigger than that by hunting season.This isthe firstbuck i have seen growinganything yet, although I haven't rode around much in the hunting club so far.

I hunted TX for turkeys over the weekend and saw 2 bucks that were still sporting their head gear. My buddy saw 3 different bucks as well.
