I don't figure too many are gonna agree with this but I think that actually far better than if it were the other way around and they shot 17 does and no spikes....Most of those young spikes wouldn't have made it to see 2-3 years old anyways.....high mortality.....The does on the other hand stand a good chance of getting older and the more does you have the more buck producers there are to replace those 17 spikes.
