I dont believe that one, if it really was a doe dontcha think heda shown that rear end and underneath in the picture. sure a doe could grow antlers but that there deer has a bucks face and shoulder on it.

Hunt more........Work Less

I tend to agree.

I agree with ya but gonna give benefit of the doubt. The face looks strange.

I don't care what it is .....It's ugly as a mud fence!!!!

the face does look odd and the neck is really skinny for a buck but the shoulders are pretty butchy, freak of nature

Hunt more........Work Less

thats just nasty

Probably tastes the same. 

you said it mr. josh...i am unsure if its correct, but i read in one of the well known hunting magazines that antlered does tend to keep the velvet on the the antlers year round. either way that deer is a freak.

Looks like it could be a castrated buck.  Antler growth gets really gnarly like that when a deer is castrated.  However, a castrated deer generally won't rub off the velvet.

Well I've seen it all------cross dressing deer

Well, I since this was such an crazy looking deer I tracked down Steve Bowen and asked him a bit about his deer.  Here is what he had to say....

"Chris, This deer was definitely a doe with utters and not any sort of stag buck. Although when I shot the doe at 40 yards during bow season I assumed it was a stag buck. In these pictures it's hard to tell but it has a doe face.

It was aged at 5 to 5.5 yrs. with a 17 in. neck. As the biologist explained it to me, the deer is a hermaphrodite with maybe pea size testicles on the inside. That's where the testosterone comes from to produce antlers. These antlers don't usually shed but will freeze off during the winter and re grow horns out of the bases. In which case this this deer had 10 in. bases.

I had seen this deer 2 yrs. ago and at that point it had a large palemate horn on one side. This deer is definitely a FREAK... - Steve, Bowen Landscape"

So there you have it!
