One hell of a spike there!  Bigger than some forked horns, great first BT!

looks to me like a 2 year old deer, i doubt any older but i think id have a better chance getting a 4point than ever shooting a spike that big. id be proud, its alota bigger than the spike i shot this year

Well my buddy and I think this deer is an older deer and has reverted back to a spike. I think that can happen but I'm not an expert.  Maybe someone here knows? He is very grey, his hooves are thrashed and curled up alot and his teeth are also very worn.  But who knows??? He was 108lbs dressed out at the butcher.

Definitely a mature blacktail,(a trophy spike indeed), you should be very proud. He could be a regress,but chances are he was a spike his whole life. A good one to cull out of the gene pool.

He would make a great euro-mount.
