Scientists who study this sort of thing tell us deer may see the different shades of blue and yellow very well but not so much on reds and greens. I am not a wildlife biologist, and I don't play one on TV, but some of the latest studies seem to say deer see some but not all colors. Once again, this is an old one, and I would say yes - and no. ![]() (That should a good one for discussion at the barbershop.) I still cringe when the local deer expert advises something like: "You may as well shoot that spike and get him out of the gene pool he will never be anything but a spike." Really? I will say most bucks start as a spike, and you can't control genetics in a wild deer herd anyway. After that, this buck may be a fork horn or could be a small six-pointer or whatever. The next year, when the buck is about 1 1/2 years old, he will commonly have spikes - two little antlers that do not branch out. ![]() Small, knob-like buttons appear where he will have antlers later. Most male whitetail deer (not all) are button bucks in the fall of their first year. Even as a kid, standing around the trucks at lunch time eating Vienna sausages and listening to all this, I had my doubts. Since I was a little kid (right after the French and Indian War), I have heard self-appointed deer experts preach about how a spike buck - the little buck you see with the skinny little single-pointed antlers - will be a spike his whole life. So here, in no certain order, are some of the myths/truisms from the outdoors world hit parade.ĭeer hunters know this one. Some you may believe, some of you may or may not agree with my assessment of them, and some of you may think I should go back to my job as a greeter at Wally World. (Ever think about that? Why is sitting and stirring the campfire so mesmerizing? I think it is because - well, maybe we better talk about that one some other time.)Īnyhow, you sportsmen (and women) out there will recognize most of these old tales. The outdoors world of hunting and fishing may not be quite that bad, but we certainly have our time-honored truisms that have been lurking around since our first hunter sat poking sticks in that big fire we always talk about. What you take as truth often depends on where you get your news and who you trust. What can you believe these days?
