Whats the biggest spike?

[samabell]

So I have a spike on my place that looks close to 10 to 13 inches on each side. Just wondering what the largest is that people have seen on their places they hunt.

I'll see if I can find the picture someplace. My father shot a spike mule deer buck roughly 10 years ago that had no testicles. His spikes were about 12 inches long.

I know it's not a true "spike", but thought I'd share this buck I shot in Kansas. His spike measured over 18" long.

Cool looking cape on that critter.

Cool looking cape on that critter.

He looked like a ghost moving through the woods. I thought he'd look awesome as a euro mount but the cape was so unique I decided to get a shoulder mount on him. Definitely was an old warrior.

Some neat animals. Here is a spike buck that was in velvet when my dad shot him. He had no testicles when we dressed him out.

6mm Rem, I watched one like that last year. Not as big, but similar rack. In NYS it's 3 points needed on one side or no good. He looked mature, big body, thick neck. Walking around in early afternoon during rifle season without a care in the world, like he knew the regs. Bastid! Couldn't have been 50 yds from me. I guess if he doesn't develop more points he'll get pretty damn big.
