Is this a Buck that has shed? -Picture-
 
To me it looks like this could possibly be a buck that has shed, notice the coloration on the forehead that looks somewhat buck-like? Although, I don't see any pedicles. Whats your opinion?

It' really hard to say. Looks as if it could have had a scuffle with a car? Looks too low on the eyebrow.

It is hard to tell from that pic, but I'd say it is a doe. The dark spot could just be a shadow.

The holes, actually slightly scooped out craters left when the antlers fall off are pretty obvious for a while so I say a doe is likely.

id say a doe by how long the snout is. bucks are usually shorter. and it just looks like a dark spot. also. it could be a button buck cause when i got mine it looked just like that and i checked and there were 2 little knobs right there. so in my opinon its either a button buck or doe.

i think that long dark spot is a shadow from the ear or branch, it just seems like the forehead is colored like a buck from rubbing during the rut, to me it looks like an older deer, just not sure if it is a buck that has shed or a doe

I vote for doe.......If it's a button it's a young button.

Im gonna say 2 1/2 year old buck. Judging by the fairly long nose, I can tell its not less than 2 years old. Also look at the neck. Its fairly massive all the way up.

Sort of looks like a young buck in the fac, but if I were a betting man i'd say doe.

pse jake, i was thinking the same thing as you, the neck looks large and the facial characteristics look to be like a 2.5 year-old buck, the majority here seem to think doe, to me this face just looks like a buck, i'm 100% sure it isn't a button, this deer has a little age on it

Magnifying glass says young buck.

I vote buck. The deer doesn't have the pretty doe face that most of the ladies have. The forehead looks flat also.

I'd say its a doe... its too low on the forehead.
