HATE CRIME !!!!

Should have said “and it turns out to be a doe”.... but you get it. And a buck tag is OK if the rare event of a antlered doe kill occurs. There... makes a little sense.

Parenthetically, the warden said...LOL— he’d only see the tag “result” way after the fact and not cite a hunter.

BTW that is a huge doe... and the meat is not affected by this abberation. Animal husbandry 101.

If it self-identifies as male, it’s okay to shoot it.

No problem with Game Commission. That’s why it is technically called “antlered deer” season and not “buck” season.

ohoh... the LBGTQ or whatever people are going to be mad now! you shot ones of theirs!

ROFL!

Red, I hate to ask, but could you possibly use your world-wide influence to get that deer mounted bow and stern. A pal’o’mine owns a very tough lesbo biker bar and he/she wants to hang the trophy by the restroom. Taxidermy and shipping no problem.

I read another account that said the game warden tagged it as a buck.

Always bullying the transgender population!!!

In Ogunquit?

The deer is kind of smallish for 8 points.

Nobody would believe it was for real............

DOE!

In PA, the tag reads Antlered for what is commonly called a buck and Antlerless for “doe”.

I’ve several antlered females at my buddies taxidermy shop over the years. This is the first one I recall seeing that appears to have rubbed its antlers. Typically, an antlered female doesn’t rub the velvet from the antlers and are said to be barren. Along the same line I’ve seen male antlered deer that never rubbed the velvet off and they almost always had missing shall we say danglers.

You leave Ogunquit out of this discussion, you gender-normative fascist! Ogunquit does quiet, refined severely dressed ladies of many sexes from the '40s-adoring theatre crowd. They are channeling Lauren Bacall, not Tugboat Annie. You want hefty tattooed dykes on big loud bikes, you gotta get back to Wells!

And just FYI, the bar is in South Portland. Another is in Bangor.

The deer is kind of smallish for 8 points.

So are you saying the rack is too big for the body? Is it top heavy?

[Portcall24]

Priceless...as always. Thanks for sharing.

[GingisK]

I never knew that could happen.

Me either. I guess he got the Hillary of deer.

[trisham]

LOL!
