Curious .... My son dropped a Spike this past Sunday and he said there were two spikes travelling together along with 4 Does . Question is : will the remaining spike be a spike next year (I should know this by now) , is it in his genes or is it food supply dependant . With the soon to come Antler Restrictions spike bucks will continue to reproduce unabated . Am I wrong on that ? My son and I have'nt seen any other bucks in the area since opening day of gun season , but I find plenty of sign ... scrapes/rubs !
