    Take a hind or two. They will be better eating than the spikers. Testosterone levels go up in them as well, can have an effect on the meat.

    Pretty sure this was the Buck that beat him up ....got him on the game camera a few weeks earlier within 50m of where I found the spiker hiding under some scrub. Gave up a shot at the Buck to do the humane thing.
    Went back a couple of weeks later and took the buck....
