Changing my posts until we figure out what you are asking.Antlerless: Deer, elk, or moose without antlers;
doe and fawn deer and cow and calf elk and
moose are considered antlerless.

Its still a male deer though, kinda if a girl went all loranna bobit on you, you would be d*$@less, but still a male.. :chuckle:

Yep it has no antlers
I tend to side with this:
"a deer without antlers is antlerless"
semantics, I know :chuckle:

I can see your point, if only the department would clearly state, "this is a ****less deer unit or hunters may harvest one ****less deer, or Antlerless by definition means ****less.

So, if I am hunting in a legal antlerless unit and have the correct weapon to kill the animal that is unlucky enough to have shed his mighty horns I would kill him and eat his tasty flesh.

That's what I thought. Isn't that why it was posted? To show a buck that has already shed his antlers? They're shedding early!

Would be a nice bonus to smoke one with an antlerless tag and find the matching sheds nearby.that would be funny.

That is possible....it could be why this thread is active. However....it is in the deer hunting, not trail cam or shed section. So, I'm assuming that he is asking us...the almight forum of knowlege.....the bestow our graces upon him so he can venture forth and smite the life from this deer.

Q. What is the definition of an antlered deer and an antlerless deer?
A. An antlered deer is defined as a deer having at least one antler of a length of 3 inches or more. An antlerless deer is defined as a deer without antlers or a deer having antlers less than 3 inches long.

Action on a thread is always fun to see. I am going in about an hour and I have a regular Archery deer tag and a second "antlerless" tag and I know this guy may come in closer to hours and I won't be able to tell for sure if I am seeing a doe or this buck. As I read the regs it would appear legal. I wonder why they don't just say "doe" instead of antlerless. I would guess that is for cases like this or for young bucks that have yet to grow their antlers.

Yes, it is legal to notch your antlerless tag on that animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just as long as you Cut out and completely
remove the month and day of kill.
Month and day must be completely
removed. A slit is not acceptable.
Securely attached to the carcass in a
visible manner.

Well, of course. Is there any other way to properly notch your no antlers deer tag?Yes, it is legal to notch your antlerless tag on that animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just as long as you Cut out and completely

As I said before, legal to kill . thanks for the entertainment though.But is it legal to harvest? Im confused, i attach my tag to the animal i have killed, but when i go to report it (by jan 31st, or the 10th if you want to be in the incentive drawing) its called a harvest report...
And when you report they ask if i remember right (since i reported 3 months ago)if you harvested a buck, if you click yes they ask how many antler points per side...so :dunno:

Harvest does not mean the same to me at least, as i can harvest a plant but it is not yet dead, some cut plants can be put into water and will continue to survive and become there own plant and the cut one will regrow where it was harvested at...
*
So humm for the sake of argument, what if this deer is in an antler point restriction unit, then it sheds becoming antleress and legal to antlerless tag holders...seems like a conumdrum to kill it at this point...

Killed, definitely killed that deer, gut, skin, cut wrap and consumed also......Interesting thoughts indeed. I wonder if we should tie this thread in with the bigfoot thread as this appears to be some form of shapeshifting....

If they only allowed does to be taken, they would say does only, not antlerless. The tag would be called a doe tag. They call it an antlerless hunt which means all deer without legal antlers. This includes buck fawns and apparently bucks who's antlers are less than 3 inches long if the above definition is right, and bucks that have shed their antlers. There is nothing unethical about shooting a buck that meets the legal requirement. In fact it's probably worded "antlerless" to prevent people who shoot an antlerless buck from getting a ticket. This is no more unethical than shooting a doe that carries legal antlers.

So if you saw a doe with antlers would you shoot that?

Now how would I know it's a doe if it had antlers? I'm usually looking at their head trying to spot antlers. I'm not looking at their junk. Of course I'd shoot if I saw antlers and that was a legal animal.
