Spike fawn?

[mathhunter]

Checking my trail camera the other day, I got a picture of a spike buck that I think is a fawn. The body seems to be the same size as other fawns I'm getting on camera and the nose on the deer is quite short (like a typical fawn) so I don't think it's a 1.5 year old buck.
The antlers are about 6" long spikes. In the first pic the antlers are kind of hard to see but it shows his body and face well so that you can see why I think it's a fawn. The second pic shows the antlers better but you can't see his body/face as well.
Has anyone else ever seen a fawn with spikes this big?

Funny. All I see is dinner.

Yeah, it's not common but not unheard of. I've heard a biologist say it's been documented when there is great nutrition, especially for the mother of the fawn while she was carrying.

I can't find it now, but in one of the biology books I have there's a record of a small eight-point that was shot and upon inspection still had its milk teeth. Good genes, good nutrition, and good timing.

Or maybe a 3 year old that just loved milk….
