Yep, hes out of 200 plus genetics from both sides. We think he will gross just over 200 inches TYPICAL this year.

I dont care what genetics or supplements you have without age youre pissing in the wind. The key ingredients are genetics, and nutrition, not to leave out the all important AGE. I personally believe there isnt a way to truly project a deers potential before he reaches it. Our biologist is trying to persuade us to shoot some of these 'inferior deer', but we choose not to. He has sired lots and this has to be where this six point phase is coming from. He has a gnarly dark rack, and he is a six point. He is 20 plus wide, heavy, and tine length is great. There is one particular buck that is unbelievable. 75 percent of the bucks we see in this particular are are 6 points. On my particular lease we have an area that has a 6 point gene. Also remember the doe has just as much or more to do with it as the sire.

They were all fed high protein feed, so this shows that genetics have a great bearing on a deers potential. Some of the other bucks didnt do as well. One was a spike his first year, and the next year his rack was an 8. They brought in several yearlings from various northern states. I work for the universities row crop entomology dept. This has been proven by Mississippi State. On the other hand a 1 1/2 yr old spike with 4 inch horns could be a 14 inch deer next yr. He is not a young deer, and we estimate him at 3 1/2 years old. In my opinion and our biologist opinion this deer needs to be taken out. I have one on camera this season with at least 14-15 inch spikes and id say a 13-14 inch spread. There are the cow horn spikes weve all seen. Not always This response submitted by Neal Wright on 11/23/04 at 12:37 PM. If it come within 50 yards of me it will.

With average nutrition and average genetics in play, a spike buck is usually a 1 1/2 year old deer. Leonard Lee Rue's Deer of North America would be a great start, but periodicals and publications by the North American Deer Foundation, Quality Deer Management Association, a several whitetail deer research facilities also provide great information.

There are several great publications available to provide you with facts to back it up. Is that true or B.S.?īS This response submitted by Dan on 11/23/04 at 10:05 AM. I heard that a spike buck will allways be a spike buck. Will a spike buck allways be a spike buck? will a spike buck allways be a spike buck? Submitted by Mike on 11/23/04 at 9:50 AM.
