I was told a story. and subsequently read about it in Woods and Waters I think, about a guy here in Massachusetts who shot a buck during muzzleloader a few years ago (back when it ended a week before Christmas!). When he hit it, both of the antlers fell off. They made him tag it as an "antlerless" deer. I don't know what would happen to you if you tried to check it in and you didn't have a doe tag.
