[QUOTE="huntemup, post: 2674858, member: 35085"] Did you read the studies I linked? Particularly the 2nd and much more extensive one? Spikes may grow into something decent but all other factors being equal(habitat, nutritition, etc) a deer that starts out as a spike is always going to be playing catch up with his multi point yearling counterparts. They may end up as nice deer at 4 or 5 but over those years they're going to be passing on their inferior genes. I don't want to see spikes on my property if I'm managing for quality bucks. Id much rather see those 6 pointer yearlings knowing that if they make it to maturity they WILL be quality bucks instead of hoping that spike turns into something better on down the road. That said I've seen what you've taken off your property so I guess I can't really argue that you're doing anything wrong. [/QUOTE]
