Deer Age
Me and my father have this spike running around our land and we we're curious if anybody could tell how old he is. this is the best picture i can find during the day that we haven't deleted.

Old enough to be delicious with bbq sauce  .
I would say 2ish years. Maybe a little younger.
Bag him and have the DNR check his jaw they will tell you exactly. And then you get venison

He is no older than two at the most probably born the spring before last due to the angle of his belly and rear flank.
I would say next year he will no longer be a spike!
If he is there is a genetic defect and should be shot before he passes the genes on. When they get to be three and are still spikes (We call them Dork Deer) We cull them from the group. We do not shoot one and two year spikes.

If there was a good wet spring and summer yeah. But Ive seen dry summers turn dominant monster bucks into fork horns.
