unless your hunting a true spike area looks like that pt is half way up the main beam and an inch long.

I know he seems really skinny!  Weird because other spikes and cows and nice and fat.

I would make sure he isn't branches on that left side first.  Would need a side look first before I shot.

This is why I don't hunt spike units. 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

That is easily a legal spike (assuming the points visible in the picture are the only points on the bull). The skull on spikes attaches to the antlers about 1-1.5" above the skull plate.

I wouldn't risk it. Would suck to shoot it and realize those eyegaurds make it a branch bull.

The points visible in this picture are the only points he has.  I have quite a few pictures of him.

I would shoot that bull. But with that said if you have to ask on the site then you must be having second guesses on it. Only you can make that call to pull the trigger.
