[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5409209, member: 1409"] A few years ago, I'm near certain we had a yearling spike develop into a 168-inch gross buck by the time he hit 3 1/2, at which time a good friend killed him. Many spikes are just late-born as fawns, and having spikes their first year of antlers in not genetics, but attributed to late birth (and/or less or low nutrition). But that said, they are often about a year behind on antler development until they're 4 1/2 or older. Since the particular buck above has the "45" tag, would be great if he could survive to 5 1/2 before being killed. Will be a real eye-opener to many hunters who follow the saga. [/QUOTE]
