My uncle many years ago shot an antlered doe. Thought he had a nice you buck until he turned it over to field dress and there were no boy parts.
He called the game warden and when they arrived they confirmed what he was seeing. He had an either or permit (buck or doe) and they had him tag it as a doe. Once field dressed and in his truck it looked like a long tall skinny young buck. But it was certainly unique.
It had a small but decent rack. He kept those antlers because hey who would believe him if he didn’t. He has plenty of pics of he and the game warden to accompany his “trophy rack.”

Interesting.Here in Maine if the antlered does antler is at least 3 inches it gets tagged as a buck.

I love this thread!

"Meat" hunters rule the day on most public lands....then complain because they never see a good buck.....lol

If you're hunting an area with nothing but private tracts......must be patient....a good one is out there....must be patient! Kill the does for meat.

For you professed meat hunters: if an antlered buck and a doe is standing side by side....which will you shoot? Yeah...I thought so....
