That’s the issue, a 1.5 year old spike could have better genetics than the best buck you’ve seen. Unless you have a meticulous cull plan or are in a pen, the spikes are still going to breed some does.
To me it all comes back to ratio, no matter when you control it. If you believe it’s better to let mature bucks breed does then your first and only priority should be getting the buck to doe ratio down by any means necessary, not the time of year.

Like I said, I’m proponent of a cutoff date more so for hunting pressure during the rut and not so much for biological reasons

Think of it in humans. In 2000, Grant Hill (think 10 point buck) was more mature and would look better at the time than Lebron james (think young spike or 4 point).
But lebron still had the better genetics to pass along.
