278 SPIKE HORN BUCK

GRAND MANAN, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA

This is one of the White Tailed Deer that eat the moss and make the rubs which are shown in the previous images.
This deer is 2.4 years old and shows the inferior genetic traits that will hurt his chances of successfully breeding. The most obvious sign is the lack of branching on his antlers. The "horns" of better bucks will branch to 4 points in the first year and additional points on each annnual set of antlers until the buck passes maturity and prime condition.
