About three years ago my dad shot one like that in november in northern wisconsin. It still had velvet on it and had a penis just also no nuts and thus didnt have the earge to rub the velvet off or to run does. Our best guess' werethey could of got ripped off on a fence or could of got bit off by a coyote or wolf that could have been trying to take it down but we never did know for sure just guess'.
