Several years ago we had a buck show up with 1- 7 inch spike, and 1 broken off spike. He was friendly also, and would take apple slices from you hand, and let you scratch his ears.  He went to my mothers, who is 80+ years old, and would follow her to her birdfeeder.  She can't hear, and the deer would sneak up and head but her.  My brother and I were worried it would knock her down, so we decided to cut the deers remaining spike off.  I grabbed his spike, and my brother tried to saw it off.  That buck was an instant tornado of flailing hooves, rolling around and kicking, we had to let him go.  He got rutty and chased a neighbor, who called the DNR and the local CO came out and shot the buck, they thought it might have been sick.
