face looks more 1.5
I have one on my place that looks just like him.
fawns will usually have fuzzy knots with a small hard antler on top.

I think he's a late born 2015 buck, about 1 year and 3 months old. Face and head sure doesn't look like a fawn.

I personally have seen very few buck fawns with hard antler showing, and none of those has been over 3/8" .

Buck fawns with hard antler on top would be fairly rare in most of Alabama. May be more common in areas like Bankhead that have an early rut and therefore early birthing date. I know it is more common in northern states.

I agree with 2D. They are late born fawns due to too many does requiring late breeding to get bred. If there were few does as many say, the ones remaining would be bred quickly and you wouldn't see scrapes during turkey season.

mman, I can promise you that spike with 6" spikes was NOT a last years fawn. Ain't possible, kind of like a bigfoot sighting. Science dosen't support it.

I know what I saw. What would you think if you saw a 50 lb deer with 6" spikes? I guess it could have been a dwarf of some kind or some type of genetic anomaly, but I know what I saw. I saw nearly 250 deer last year while hunting. Many of them came from the location where I saw the spike. I saw many of the same deer on many occasions. I could tell many of the individual does apart because I had seen them several times. I was used to seeing deer in this area. The small deer had a fawn type head, very short, with around 6" spikes. Another member, who hunts in the same general area who is also very experienced, mentioned to me that he had seen a fawn with antlers coming out of its head. He too thought the deer was around 50 lbs. He has always been very reliable and accurate when describing deer that he has seen. Neither of us had seen anything like it. So, if you can promise it wasn't a fawn, how do you explain a 50 lb deer with 6" spikes?

Axis deer done got loose sounds like Haha, or maybe a keys deer wandered up into central Alabama. We better hope not, they are infected with screw worm and dying by the dozens!!! Far as the OP topic I see half a dozen little 1/2 to 1 in spikes on our lease in Butler county every year. 75- 100 lb deer. Always thought they were late born fawns from previous year.

I'd think I saw a late deer that was small for age with six inch spikes.
I've got a doe on my place that is two years old and weighs maybe 60 pounds, a 1.5 year old buck with 2" spikes that weigh maybe sixty pounds. It happens, unlike five month old bucks with six inch spikes which does not happen.
