This spike shows how a buck can get stuck in the face,mouth, eyes or even in the throat when fighting.

They are just sparring. The rut is getting closer in my area.




Couple of more young bucks getting rutty.



Father and son? stir Older 6 point with a yearling spike.

Was a 6 last year and thanks to ARs might be one next year.

So we should shoot spikes to protect older deer?

That straight on pic of that 6 changed things a lot. I thought he would make it for sure from the first pic.

LOL let's hope the deer in those first pics don't get into any real fights. Little suckers.

I'm suprised the spike is still walking.. And i think you're right on the 6.. too close to call. He'd be one of those coming in at 12 3/4. hammer
