[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1383452, member: 3455"] Hard to take Dr. James Kroll seriously after reading that - what does he say about deer farms then? impossible? I can see how malnutrition can stunt the growth - but if you ain't got it, you ain't got it. Ironically the conclusion is that a fully grown spike will be AVERAGE AT BEST among the rest deer OF ALL AGES! On our land most of the deer management is done by truckers - I usually loose 3:1 on our mile during rut. I see 30+ deer every time I go out, most of them bucks. I see 7-8 fully grown bucks and 7-8 forkers. I feel very bad if I shoot a button instead of a doe. As I said - I generally don't take an "average" buck. But I really don't see why I should spare a spike in my situation. Deer in farm country is a nuisance - next thing you know, the neighbors get an extermination permit cause "there is too many ugly ones eating all the good stuff" :) [/QUOTE]
