A Wisconsin hunter has killed an eight-point ... doe?
WLUK-TV reports that Wayne Douville was hunting near Abrams in northeastern Wisconsin on Monday when he shot and killed a 222-pound deer that had eight points on its antlers.
Upon closer inspection, the 68-year-old Douville and his aptly-named friend, Mel Buckmaster, discovered the deer had female genitalia.
Jeff Pritzl, district wildlife supervisor for the state Department of Natural Resources, says the doe likely had a higher testosterone level, which might occur in one in 100,000 deer. He says the deer was tagged a buck because the antlers were at least three inches long.
Douville says he plans to have the entire deer mounted, though he doubts his wife will let him put it up on the living room wall.
Udders. I swear I checked!
B is for "Bambi".
The deer is what it identifies as...
Ha!
Does with antlers a uncommon but their horns usually stay in velvet.
I shot a nice 200 lb. doe years ago and roller her over to and saw that she had a package. The deer had a couple antlers maybe an inch or two, but it wasn’t a button buck. Field dressed it and everyone commented on what a nice doe it was.
Game and Parks thought maybe he snared his “jewels” on a barb wire fence but I told him he was fully intact.
A new breed - the transgendeer
It's interesting that in WI tags are antlered or antlerless, mainly to cover males with no or under 3" antlers by doe tags. However the "antlered" tags are printed Buck Tag.
“Which bathroom will it use?”
Same one as the bears.
What, you never heard of transsexual deer before? It obviously started out as a buck but hasn’t had the antler portion of the operation yet.
Snicker.:-)
The LBTQFHRMAFDSPL lobby will certainly label this a Hate Crime against transgendered deer!
LGBTQ-Deer?
A higher testosterone level than democrat “men.”
But a buck is a little doe ...
I’m not so impressed with the deer as I am with the hunter. Judging by the background, he’s a true farmer........I envy him.
Obviously a result of global warming.
do we really know what the animal identified as?
Oddities of nature
You know the bucks who were attracted to her felt ashamed.
