    Check this spike out on my property....taller and wider than his ears. With the right amount of food and vitamins, they can turn out to be impressively ODD 1-1/2er's

    my second buck had 15" spikes. (He's on the wall at my dad's or I'd post him.)
    Last year we had pics of a little guy with darn near 20" spikes in velvet. Had dozens of pics of him up until he started shedding the velvet; then never saw him again.

    Thats pretty average for a Spike. I have seen pics with some that are much longer.

    Thats a cool one Dwayne! I passed on a 5 and half year old spike a few weeks ago...wish I hadn't right about now and I don't have pics of him...but I do have a pic from the neighboring town that people believe he is the son of the deer I passed. He actually splits on his right side, but daddy was just two spikes just like these and similar to the one you just posted...pretty cool!
