should he stay.. or should he go?

what would yall do with this guy? cull him out or let him be?

If he is unbranched on one side i would shoot him as my spike for the year on my lease.

^^ This, put him in the freezer

another vote for dirt nap

If your going to shoot him need to shoot the other two also.

Choot

I like that feeder.

Oh, if a spike tag is handy, he'd go good with onions and gravy.

I probably wouldn't shoot any of them, I've been working for 5 yrs on my CC and ratios. I need to kill way more doe before I worry about my yearling bucks.

I've got one very similar. Tall spikes on each side. Got to get him out of the breeding pool. Bad news is that my wife thinks he's cute.

man im glad yall all said dirt nap b/c thats what i was thinking. there are about 3 spikes and that 3 point... they all have targets on their backs!

What he said...

what do the rest of your deer look like?

This is what I was thinking

Maybe you could get all 4 to line up

Kill them all and let God sort them out. That doe is probably a full sister to one of those bucks, but hey, that's ok.

heres some of the other deer we got hanging around..

The only question should be....."smoked or jalapeño and cheese"

Give him the bidness end of a rage broad head. After that make some jerky
Outta that ugly
Dude

Guess I will be the bad guy here, but my opinion is, they are all to young to judge. I would give them another year to assess their potential. From the older buck pics you posted, the young stuff may turn out to be just as good, given the opportunity!

So how old is the ugly one?

If you have too many deer, I'd definitely shoot him (assuming you have good doe:buck ratios).

I agree with this , by the pics of the other deer there I'd say you have some good stuff going on and let them walk one more year.

I'd venture to say just a yearling, but would like to see a few other pictures to confirm.

theres alot of deer on the property as well as the other properties neighboring, we have a few 4 points as well as a few small 8's that look to be 1-2. ill see if i can find another pic of the ugly one

few more of the ugly one

yearling

I'd let him walk he looks young to me.

Where are you located? I would let him walk, he is young and will do no breading. if his is bad next year shoot him. At our ranch in george west we never shoot spikes and we have very very few cull bucks and we shoot a lot of 150-190s. People do not resize that you can have late fawns that take a few years to catch up. And we are in a bad drought that has really hurt the deer. My 2 cents

If those spike bucks can't do any better than that with eating protein they need to be culled out.

Walk, a spike may not always be a piece of junk! I've watched yearling spikes turn into 150 five year olds. Check him next year at 2 then decide!!!!

Take him out of the pool.

He Gone!

Out

this is in mills county horizon

Poke him with a stick.
