New Hunter: Is a spike to small?

[Patriot]

Kill it, grill it, savor it brother!
 
I've hunted 21 years and even now if I see a spike....it's going down.  My version if Diet QDM would then "prevent" me from shooting another small buck that same year.  This way I get some meat in the freezer and then preserve the remaining small bucks.  That's just me.  Kill whatever makes you happy.
 
Good luck!!
