They actually changed this "spike" definition some time back. In the beginning when this special late season was first introduced, a "spike" for the late season had to have no branches, bumps or anything. This was done because the real purpose of the late season was to give additional management opportunities to take out more does from the over-populated areas mainly out west and south. That spike provision was put in to cover mistakes for folks shooting yearling spikes and fawn spikes thinking they were does...
Later in an effort to simplify the regs, the spike definition was changed so that there is only one definition for a spike...

We've got about 8 "spikes/unbranched" on our 400 ac so I shot one late in reg season cause I hadn't shot anything and wanted venison. Hate me, I don't care. He'll eat good.
Carry on
