Ok guys - help me out.

This picture is from Early October - The deer have lost their velvet about 3-4 weeks ago -

Does anyone think this buck might really be a doe? Look at its skinny neck, and body? Also - not the funny "Bump" on its head between the antlers - like an extra pedicle - start of another beam? Maybe its a piebald cross or something - it just doesn't look right!!





To follow is a normal looking 1-1/2yr buck for early October and a Doe from the same roll of film. These are deer from the same property for comparison.





I'm curious what others think. We think this deer made it - or dispersed - it wasn't taken on our property anyhow.

buckeye

It does have the ruff patch of hair between the antlers like most bucks not smooth like a does.

It also looks like hair sticking up to me. I think it is just the pic.

I think it is a buck.

I would have to agree with buckeye, looks to be just a young buck with an extra nub.

Just a baby with a bad hair day,and weird eyes.

Is it just me or is that buck very eerie looking. I don't know if it's the way the white goes all the way around the eyes or what but it almost looks fake.

I agree, I think it is a buck......a weird looking buck

It's really hard to say. It's probably just a young buck and that's why it looks so "doe eyed." Next time put the camera at a lower angle and leave a sign asking the deer to lift their legs.

I would say a buck. Although the only way to really tell would be to spread his/her legs and find out for sure.
