If the game is removing mouths, it doesnt matter. None of us know what the future holds for either deer. So the first one that offers a great shot gets it. I do like the fact that you are actually putting some thought to it though. So many "trophy" hunt their "culls" which is the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
The ranch I hunt on has a lot of younger dinky deer. We are almost overrun with them, and the land owner wants us to take out a good bit of mouths to feed.
My question is... which deer would y’all rather shoot...a spike with one little spike that is probably 1.5-2 years old or a 7pt that doesn’t has an okay rack as far as hill country deer go, but won’t be anything impressive?
Spike isn’t 1.5-2. It’s either 1.5 or 2.5. And that spike is just 1.5. It’s doubtful you will ever see a 2.5 year old spike. In your situation I’d shoot the 7 depending on age.
