Title: Ever see an 8 point doe?
Post by: cuboodle on October 21, 2012, 07:07:00 PM
An article from the local paper the ellwood city ledger. Dave Evans, above, of North Sewickley Township, shot a doe — yes, a doe — with an 8-point rack still in full velvet. This was confirmed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission on Wednesday.

Anything is possible.  

As a matter of fact, I got fingerprinted the other day for a background check and there is now 9 official genders to choose from in the database.  That is no joke!

About 15 or so years ago I saw one a friend killed during bow season here in LA.

My Dad killed a spike doe when I was young. It was still in velvet as well.

Well, that is to say the least very interesting.

About 25 years ago when I was gun hunting I shot an eight point and when I went to field dress it I noticed he was a she. It doesn't happen often.

I killed a pretty good 9pt doe about 3 years ago. She had rubbed her rack clean. I would show a picture but it was a smoke pole kill.

I think that the doe that is displayed in the gas station in Tifton Georgia actually has 11 points.  I don't remember all the details, but she was killed many years ago by a local hunter.

I have read a few stories about confirmed doe with horns. It happens every once in a while.

A real nice 9 pt doe (female organs) was killed a couple of counties from here back in the 90's.  18" spread, nice heavy rack, big body, doe.

That is cool!  There was a big racked doe killed her in Iowa a few years back.  My friend used to raise deer to collect and sell urine and they had a doe with an antler.  Now this particular doe only had one and it was small.  She also din't shed it every year, like the bucks.

There was a big doe killed here in IL last season or season before. Wild non typical rack. Had female parts and antlers. Nature can produce some odd balls every now and then.

Someone in our area killed a 8 point doe that was also piebald. Really unique looking deer.Guess the recessive genes really won out with her.

Interesting! I had a piebald doe near here that was also a dwarf-short legs etc. There's no end to the variations it seems!

This one might be hard to believe wish I knew how to get pics up of this deer. A buddy of mine killed a 23 point non typical with a muzzle loader last week that had no male parts. I will try to load pics. You gotta see this doe/buck. Top it off he hunted the stand I was going to be in that morning. Talk about luck. Don
