He shot a buck...or did he?
G-Dawg's uncle up in Kansas shot this muley a few weeks ago. Thinking it was a buck, sent it to the processors, and the guy called him and told him it didn't have any cods. He shot a racked doe, mule deer. It's a pretty rare deal. Pretty nice deer too. Congrats to Garen's uncle!

RE: He shot a buck...or did he?
I have seen whitetails does like that at the Buck Horn Hall of fame in San Antonio Texas. It pretty cool. Its funny that you posted this because yesterday a friend and I were discussing how to tag a deer like that. In Texas, it states that it is a buck if it has a hard bony antler protruding the skin. So does that mean you tag a antlered doe as a buck? Would you get in trouble for taging one as a doe ?

Yep HFF, that's how it is here in Arkansas. Antlered and antlerless deer tags. Sex has nothing to do with it. I'm guessing he tagged it as an antlered deer or buck.

HFF has got it covered for Oregon . Once its field dressed looks like it could be rather hard to tell at a glance .Starting to wonder about the processor ,didn't the hunter dress the deer first .
