Probably another BS story but a rumor was started that a Hunter in Kentucky recently shot a 8 Point buck that turned out to be a doe. I don't have any pictures or details other than when he started to drag the deer out of the woods he discovered that it had no --lls but did have all the other doe organs. Has anyone else ever heard of does having horns? I'll try to find out some more details. Anyway, I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of such a story. Semper Fi, Steve.

This could very well be true. I have seen a doe like this. I call them deer *****!

 

[deerhunter17]

I have heard of this before. It is more than likely a true story.

Yep, it actually happens more commonly than many believe. There have been a few taken in my area over the last several years. The largest antlered Doe from this area was Kenny Locks monster, (taken near Canton) I think she carried a awesome crown with 24 points and most were long dagger points! Plus she weighed over 300#. A very impressive animal!!! This deer was featured in North American Whitetail magazine.

The deer probably had a mullet too!

 

[chase17]

it was probably a buck that has been castrated some how or has a birteh defect or it coudl be a hermafordite deer,, its probably a hermafordite deer,
the deer was probably also in full velvet as well, usually these deer never loose there velvet and grow odd lookin horns at an extreme rate,

chase

I forgot to say that there has been those deer shot in Wisconsin before. I think it is just a gentic screw up.

I have heard it said before that up to ten percent of does will grow antlers.

 

[archerdad]

that would just be weird.

 

[xtrembowhntr]

they are rare, but they do exist
doe with antlers

 

[BillyRay]

No doubt they do exist so I wouldn't call BS on the story at all...

 

[archerydude]

one of the few stories i wouldn't call BS. We used to have one that hung out by my house. she had 1 really small antler and (1) 3 point BTW i am talking about a mulie

 

[stehawk]

No BS

they are rare, but they do exist
doe with antlers

I will have to stop throwing the BS flag. Thanks for for the article. Looks like they're everywhere!!

My uncle shot a nice typical 8 pointer about 15 years ago that turned out to be a doe. He mounted it and it is still hanging in his house. She was in full velvet during gun season when taken and her tines are very sharp. Quite a trophy.

true story

Its true this does happen not sure exactly why. I saw a newspaper article and saw the mount of the deer at a local bow shop in Tahlequah Oklahoma. The wildlife department said it was something to do with hormones.

8 Point Doe

That is why in Texas on your hunting license the tags say antlered or anterless and not buck or doe.Because there are some does that are antlered.

[razortec 0001]

Kinda like the time I saw a lady with more of a beard than me at the time They are out there and more common than I care to think.

 

[stehawk]

yep

that is exactly right. i forgot about that.

Yeah, I now remember why they put bearded birds on your turkey license. I killed a hen Turkey one time that had a 7" beard. That turns out to be quite common also. They're still fun to shoot!!
