Spike buck question.

[Tom]

We actually have a special season for them and does after the general deer season.

What do people do with spike whitetail bucks where you're at?

The last I heard, even if a spike buck grows up for several years, they're not real good. A smaller percentage of them get 8+ pts and even if they do, the mass of their rack is like half that of a young fork horn buck grown to the same age. Kerrville Wildlife Management area is supposed to be doing a study where they study the droubt effects on this earlier result they had though. I don't know anything yet on those results.

we shoot them if there legal. Some areas are 3pt or bigger and some areas are any buck so if its a spike and he walks out hes dead.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

Most of California is forked horn or better.

Whitetail spikes are legal in Idaho but they are fairly rare. Most year old bucks have at least forks or three points on a side. It's easier to find a 6 point (3 on each side) than a spike in Idaho.

don't see many spikes her anymore but we let them go for a couple years then if they look like they won't grow up we cull them

Your my kind of hunter Elkchsr.

What I mean by that is you and I think a like about hunting, I didn't mean I was interested in you in any unnatual sort of way. Or if you are politicaly correct I guess it's natural. Either way FORGET IT I'M NOT INTERESTED.

Luckily here in Ohio the only restriction is what constitutes a antlered deer. It is antlers 3" or better. I don't carry a tape measure and can't run fast enough to measure the antlers But we are able to take a antlered or antlerless deer with our tags. We just are only allowed to take 1 antlered deer each hunting year.

 

[ELKCHSR]

It's O.K. Greybeard, I know what you were getting at and am very flattered....
But as I am who I am, You probably don't have enough estrigen in your system for me to be interested in any way....

The Greybeard kind of gives it away...LMAO!!!
