Huge Antlered Doe


Ravin R10 man

Recommended Posts

Have heard of antlered does and even recall a story in the local paper here a looooong time ago(over 20 years) about one killed near here, but never seen one that I am aware of.

Guess the question, did the hunter have a doe tag??? Course here with with a type 94 you are still allowed 3 does a day. Might be a headache determining check in.

Got a big "doe" here we got pics of a couple weeks ago I am sure is a buck missing both sides, unfortunately those don't count to the buck harvests and can really screw up the already flawed data this state uses in determining limits.

Very true Bob - the shot was back a couple inches and at only 20 yards I should have had better placement. The hole seen is the exit wound. The entry hold is seen below. The deer was slightly quartering to me, but enough to make a drastic difference in entry and exit. She ran 50 yards, stopped and fell over dead within a minute or two. I didn't bother to check the liver when I field dressed her but I'm sure that is why she died so quickly.

William...since the deer was killed in Missouri, I can easily answer this question for you.

MO buck tags are labeled "any deer" so you can use it on either a buck or a doe. Doe tags are labeled "antlerless deer". For firearm season tags "firearm" is added in front of that. For archery season tags "archery" is added in front of that. ;)
