Doe with antlers

[Safari Hunt]

Thought this was interesting. Rare but it happens. Local guy got a hen turkey with beard a couple of years ago.

Cool.

So... those of you that do mounts, how would you prove it's a doe?

He prolly had to check it in as a buck as in most cases.

Not as a buck, but as an Antlered Deer, but female sex.

Well, God clearly made a mistake...

Antlered Doe? The Odds are Highly Unlikely | Deer & Deer Hunting

How common are antlered does in the whitetail society? Unlikely. Yet, we hear of reports each year during gun season where hunters shoot large-bodied, antlered deer that are reported as females. In the scientific sense, these deer are not does but rather weird genetic freaks. As reported...

Very cool, hens with a beard much more common as Ive killed 2 myself and see them killed every Spring.

Wish my doe was that horny.....

That's very interesting! If not killed, she would've fit right in with Brandon's administration.

And that's why the check-in system says "antlered" or "antlerless," not buck or doe.

I was shocked to see that Missouri's "adult deer season" ended on November 23rd (a Tuesday)

Not even sure what they mean by that unless they are speaking of a juvenile season afterwards. Which makes sense but some weird wording. Seems awful wary in the year for deer season to end. Of course that's assuming the media is reporting accurately

Great, now we got trans-deer

I killed a one antlered (spike), blue eyed, somewhat piebald, and somewhat hairless doe with a muzzleloader years ago in Fayette County. Otherwise very healthy, had a normal looking young one with her at the time.. I could not bare eat it, donated to HTH.. True story.. Got pics of the weird girl around here someplace.
