“After the shot, one antler lighter, the buck ran off unharmed,”

It’s almost April, long past the rutting season, Why would a deer still have its antlers?

That was my thought too. This must have been from last fall/early winter.

It must have been from last fall, the bucks have velvet stubs right now in our neck of the woods.

I hope he put some ear protection on that deer before he fired the shot.

It was a transgender, previous a doe, that had antler implants so it could identify as a buck.

They shed and regrow their antlers, so no harm done, except maybe to his hearing.

YES, for this event.
If it offends you simply close your eyes and look away.

If it offends you simply close your eyes and look away. It doesn't offend me, it shows absolutely nothing other than a piece of bone or something.
I would have thought you could have posted something more graphic and instructional on what actually happened......
