DES MOINES, Iowa A northeast Iowa hunter thought he might have shot a trophy buck when he shot a 14-point deer during Iowa's first shotgun season early this month.
25-year-old Eric Weymiller, of rural Harpers Ferry, started to field dress the animal when _ to his surprise _ he noticed it wasn't a buck at all.
He discovered that he was dressing a doe sporting antlers with 14 tines, a big rack even for a buck.
Weymiller says he stopped field dressing the doe and called a D-N-R biologist, who confirmed that the animal was a female.
More research will be required to determine whether Weymiller's deer's antlers are large enough to set a record for doe antlers.
He shot the animal December 7th in Allamakee Count

It's obvious that this was caused by Global Warming.

By shooting the deer,
did he commit a hate crime?
What if he eats it . . .

What if he eats it . . .Of course this is indeed a hate crime against trangendered deer fueled by the Right wing conspiracy against hooved creatures!!! If he eats the deer , this is just further evidence on how evil Southern Baptists glorify murder and cannabalism!!! /sarc off ( I have been spending too much time in conspiracy rooms on paltlk.......)
