I'd say frostbite, or a coyote had a light snack.

Farmer could have trimmed it off when the doe was a fawn. Lots of farmers notch an ear on fawns during hay season when they find them while cutting hay so they can see if they get that deer during hunting season later in its life. :twocents:

Remember that pick Bone had of the buck holding down the doe- I bet some buck tried to get his way with her and she fought so he tried getting a hold of her ear to keep her there but she had so much spunk that it ripped.  :P

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I've seen quite a few like that in WY.  Spoke with a VERY selective hunter once who was getting a lot of grief in his camp, he'd killed a little 16" 4pt.  His story?  It jumped up out of the sagebrush running away, and all he saw was that it was "better than an ears length outside the ears".  Too bad for him, the ears were only about 3" long!!

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
