RE: 13-point deer shot by hunter turns out to be doe
 

In Va. it says Antlered bucks must have antlers above the hairline.

Antlerless deer are not defined as does, but simply antlerless.

I do find it odd that they call deer with antlers bucks and not antlered.

IF A BUCK MOUNTS HER DOES THAT MAKE HIM GAY?

RE: 13-point deer shot by hunter turns out to be doe
 

The deer has to be tagged with a 'any deer' or 'buck' tag.

In Minnesota a 'legal buck' is one with 3 inches of visibile antler on ONE side - I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure a bunch of those 13 points are more than 3 inches<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

As for a buck mounting her being gay - well - I'm not sure about that... And you think we're confused - what about the poor 5 year old 175 incher that now can't trust his nose - or eyes??? I see whitetail psych's popping up everywhere to counsel the deer with *issues*...

I have heard of that happening more than a couple times. That is why the tags go by antlered or antlerless.

It happened in Washington this year, A guy shot a big mulie buck, when he went to gut it he saw that it didn't have the whole package.

Ive heard of it one other time before. My grandfather used to be a town cop and he had to go arrest a man who shot a doe with antlers. This was back in the 60's and the shot what he thought was a buck. It turned out to be a 4 point doe. The DNR wanted to fine him and give him jail time. He got out of it, it definetly would blow your mind to kill one like that.
