Buck or Doe

[1lessdog]

What is the thought on this Deer. I believe it's a Doe being it's still in velvet. Both pictures were taken today.

Trans-doe.....or maybe a liberal buck. Tough to tell without a nosering or colored hair.

Testicular injury.

Testicular injury.

I thought the same thing, a cactus buck.

Face/ body says doe.

I shot an anltered doe years ago.

 

[Prairie Doggin']

Hermaphrodite?

 

[NodakBob]

I saw two small mule bucks in velvet a week ago

 

[LBrandt]

Real dainty face, I say doe. LB

 

[Fester]

Young buck?

 

[SDMF]

Last pick looks like a very young short-nosed buck to me. Friend of mine killed the XXXXL version of that buck (very similar antler growth) a few years back. Can't come anywhere close to getting your hands around the bases and it was an enormous bodied older buck.

Young buck?

Hard to tell really kinda strange stunted rack but prolly no bearing on that. Picked up a fresh 4 point shed antler in nov back when. Had a concave base an still full velvet/bloody. 2.5 year old buck figured teste injury

Get a picture of the other end.

 

[Shockwave]

Shoot it and find out.

I agree with Zogman. I know alot of you posters are city folk but us country folk usually find it easier to determine gender based on the other end of the animal.

Shoot it and find out.

I have both a Buck and Doe tag as I bow hunt S.D. and they give you the option to buy a extra Doe tag for 100.00. If I do shoot it and it's a Doe I will put my Doe tag on it. And still hunt this one.

 

[Sluggo]

Do they call it a Doe tag in SD? I was thinking in ND it was antlered and antlerless but I could be wrong, I don't hunt much.

My S D. tag says Doe. ( update, tag says anterless )

That is a good point .

I just looked at my 2nd Tag and it says Antlerless. So I can't shoot it and use my Doe tag even if it's a Doe.

Another 4 or 5 years And you'll be a full-fledged veterinarian?
