Last year, I saw a fawn with maybe 6" spikes. The deer was small, maybe 50 lbs or so. Never have seen anything like that before or since. Someone else in our club also saw it and made a comment that they had never seen a fawn with spikes.

We've also had some +- 100 pound deer with 1/2" or less spikes/buttons. Not sure what is going on there either, but I usually see several each year. I've always thought they were the ones that were born very late and instead of being 1 1/2 years old, they are closer to 1 year olds. Just a thought.
