i actually shot that spike at 10 yards on the 6th (longbow), he gave me a perfect 10 yard broadside shot ( i was on ground making it even easier) and turned his head and i still screwed the pooch. was a poor shot. long story short the spike is still alive and well, just a little sore. and here just a couple hours ago i was hunting bear at an elk wallow, cause they keep chewing up my cams there, and the 6 point from that pic above throwing the log around.. he walked right in, 5 yards in front of me damned near stepped on me, and proceeded to whoop it up in the wallow 25 yards in front of me for about 20 minutes. ill pull the card on the cam in the morning, should be some good pics
heres another pic of that "huge" spike, in velvet for ya.
