RE: Hermaphrodite Buck
In 1981 I shot a "cactus buck" in Barbour County, Alabama, but it didn't look like the one in the N.C. story. One of thetraits of a "cactus buck" I thought was that it didn't shed its velvet due to the lack of needed hormones. The one I shot didn't have any testicles showing, it was in December, and had all of the velet although it wasn't smooth, more like fuzzy barnacles. Its basically a 4 point, but I have seen pictures of other bucks that had more mass and similar coatings to the buck I shot.
