How does a buck with no testicles rut? This deer was a small spike last year that stayed with does, like he was a doe. I thought it was an antlered doe because I never saw a sack. Now here he is this year with a swollen neck and strange rack, still no balls.

Could be an injury, could be that they never dropped.

Kill it, before it pollutes the gene pool.

Transdeer...2020 is a strange year
It's probably asking Biden for special rights.
Unfortunately I'm tagged out. If he hangs around I'll bring somebody in to kill him....it.
Two years ago there was a fawn that kept getting shunned by the does. They simply wouldn't allow it near them. The young bucks also chased it away, even kicking at it while at the mineral lick. I thought it odd, but didn't know what was going on. Last year there was a spike that lagged behind the doe groups, and other young bucks would get very aggressive with. It never chased a doe, just lagged behind the group like a shunned outcast. Now after seeing this thing pop up on camera, the pieces of the puzzle are aligning. I think it's been the same deer all along.
Love it!!! Awesome name.
When I read this I though "oh no...here we go"
You guys NEVER disappoint haha. Can't compete with what's already been said. Definitely looks like a cull deer or something to that affect. His name is Bruce now.

"His"? Deer Bruce Jenner would appreciate not being labeled with gender pronouns.
That's my bad....I should have been more sensitive to Deer Bruce (Kaityln?) whatever "he" is today.
Ruby red lips. Milky white skin. Her name.......was Russell lol

I tend to agree with maybe they didn't drop....my understanding is if they are castrated due to injury that they will remain in velvet and not shed their antlers....I was told that or read that one time....I know I saw a nice 8pt at taxidermist one year....hard horned in full velvet...in late November....I asked about it and he said the buck had no testicles so he never shed his velvet.

On the more funny side.....his Indian name would be Nonut.....but for modern day conversation I'd go with Bruce.
VERY DIFFERENT
Hmmmmm...very pink unicorn deer. 
But you're showing your age. Folks now days don't know what pink unicorn originally meant!

Would one like that be able to breed? If not, no passing of genes.
His doe is carrying them around.
Ha! My wife keeps mine in her purse.
That was my question. I wouldn't think so but I'm no expert by any measure on things biological. That dude has a thick neck and is rutting, though.
This is an easy one to answer. He is a cryptorchid. He has fully functional testicles that produce sperm cells and testosterone. However since they are located within the body cavity, he cannot regulate the temperature of testicles (which need to be cooler than the basal body temp ) therefore he is sterile.

He/She can use whatever restroom he/she wants to use! 
I killed one a few years ago in November during ML that was still in velvet. He had 2 penises and no balls. Don't know if it was an old injury or what.

Interesting.....other than the one local deer I mentioned seeing at the taxidermist...I've seen one other mulie buck out west that an outfitter had taken... big 2x2 that was hard horned but in full velvet...in late fall....and that buck had no testicles....it did appear that he had a previous injury.... crazy stuff.
Well I guess my two peckered Billy goat jokes aren't so far fetched now lol
