Curly about 25 years ago my best friend's brother in law killed a spike just like that in a shotgun only hunt at the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant at Karnack...seems like TPWD aged it at 5.5 years old...

I like mature/unique deer like that. I would have harvested him and sent him to the taxi. Cool deer!

Nice deer and conversation piece..I saw one like that many moons ago..Not with that graceful curve..Just 2 (look like broom handles sticking up..Maybe 18" out around Comstock ..couldn't get shot and never saw again..Probably good to have him out of gene pool!

I saw that deer back in 1991.... He must be very elusive and long lived!

I bet the other deer didn't let him play in their games. They could lose an eye.

Anyone else notice the dog and hunter have the same exact expression? Like they're mad somebody farted.

Unique trophy.....I don't think I've seen a spike (forget about the nubby brows) that large.

I thought I killed a giant spike once, apparently I was mistaken.

I rattled up the one I saw. Had him in the scope for a good 10-15 seconds while he was staring at me head on at about 50 yds, but I was too focused on searching for points and wondering why the heck I couldn't see any to even get a shot off. When he took off running, I was still fixated on looking at his horns. I wasn't drinking or doing drugs, so I didn't think it was a hallucination. It's just not something you see everyday. This was on a 5K acre lease and that was the only time that buck was seen.

Thanks for posting the pic.

I'm pretty sure that's the expression you get when your hunting guide tells you how much your fee is for shooting his world record spike. grin

The brows also look like they are to wide across the base at the mainbeam even if they are an inch tall.

You just made me check. Finger nail is 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch depending on finger and finger is 6/8-7/8 depending on finger. Did not check pinky.

I didn't measure them, I read the article from the Muy Grande Spike Contest he won with it and neither was busted and neither was 1" long.

I should have bet you since I have been lucky at winning beer from you. 8 cases would have a nice ring to it instead of 4 grin
