Antlered Does
« on: October 30, 2017, 06:17:33 PM »
Notched my tag this year with a goofy looking 2x2 with 4 eyeguards that still had velvet. Upon closer inspection I found out it was actually a doe. Has this happened to anyone? Love to hear other stories. I've heard a couple, sounds like elevated testosterone levels can cause it.

By far the heaviest deer I've gotten both in terms of fat and meat. 80 pounds of processed meat prior to packing. (Headshot helped)

I was a tad concerned because I shot it in the bottom of a canyon and had to cut it up to get it out and obviously didn't have the lower half one would expect to accompany the upper.

Maybe it self identified?

That's wild.

I've heard stories about this happening to white tails rarely, and some blame farmers using pesticides who knows what actually causes it.

I saw one of these on meateater once!
Crazy!

Here's a question,
In a 3pt or better unit would a deer like this be legal?

I mean technically it's a 3 point and it doesn't say 3pt or better buck, right?

It is a legal three point.

I mean how would anyone be able to tell before shooting it. Cant really check the equipment under the hood while hunting.

Btw I don't know where this deer was hunted, and was in no way implying that I think he did anything wrong.
I was asking for future reference and like was just said how would you be able to tell anyways.

Gender is never a factor for legal deer.

What about when it is "any buck"
Seems gender specific for legality to me

3 Pt. Minimum:
A legal deer taken in these GMUs must have
at least 3 antler points on one side. A 3x3, 3x2,
or 3x1 are legal in a 3 pt. min. unit. An antler
point must be at least one inch to be counted.
Antlerless:
Deer without antlers. Doe or fawn deer are
antlerless.
Any Buck:
Any deer with visible antlers may be taken
(fawns illegal)

Look up the definition of a buck in the Big Game regulations. ;)
