Vehicles get a lot of deer. On Thursday morning I saw a doe with a small fawn dead just a few miles from here. Looked like the doe was killed and the fawn was standing near the doe when it was hit.

Was just wondering if it seemed strange to you that in as cold of a climate as NY is that the deer still has it horns? I live in MD and have had trail cam pics of bucks with no horns for at least a month and half. Just seemed odd to me.

I live in northern Wisconsin and I had pictures of bucks with antlers still on as of March 29th. I was surprised to see it, but with an unpicked cornfield on our property, I don't think the deer were very stressed. Then again I've found three dead young deer (all last years fawns) as a result of the weather. I also found a young 8 point that had to have been hit by a car...only 20 yards from the road. I didn't find it until the snow melted and it looked much like the buck in this post except not as big.

he was probably asking because of the white antlers as a lot of penned deer have that coloration. it sucks that he died but at least you found him and not someone else.. i have found 13 dead racked bucks so far this year with the biggest being a 150 class basic 10 point with a sticker
