i have never seen a big spike. deer or elk. if they are a spike every year their body growth must be stunted also

They will get bigger but don’t expect them to become a 2.5 year old 8 point Next year. I have seen the pictures to prove this 100% false. A ear tagged fawn was a spike his first year this year a real nice 8. I guess there is that slight possibility that there are 2 ear tagged deer around hear but pretty slim I would guess.

well i been trying to kill a spike that looks like got two chunks of a broom handle on his head for the last 4 years. so maybe some of em do keep the spikes. land owner saved him last week was waiting for him to take about 20 more steps to hit one of my shooting lanes and the landowner came down to hunt the fence line i was watching. ran the spike and the doe he was chaseing off.

Some of them defiantly do I shot one several years ago that I know was at least 4yo because I had been trying to get him that long and I know it was him because of a very distinctive scar he had that made ID very easy, conversely he is also one of the biggest fattest deer I have ever taken he won the local big buck contest at a dressed weight of 247 pounds 3 oz don't know what he was eating but he had 2 or 3 inches of fat on him which helped with the weight but like others have stated its a myth

You get it killed post a picture Tony. I have only ever seen what I thought were young deer/elk with spikes.
