My son took this deer last night. It was with a group of smaller bucks but this one was the only one still in velvet so decided he wanted it. After we pulled it out to the field edge and flipped it over to begin field dressing, we were surprised to find out it was a doe. That would explain why it's still in velvet this late. We left the female parts attached and showed it to a DNR buddy of mine. I've heard about this happening but this is the first time I've seen it myself. 20240925_195246.jpg 20240925_200536.jpg

Most likely it’s a hermaphroditic deer. I shot one a couple years back, a mule deer. The fishing game people were quite giddy about it, and claimed to even have found under developed penis tissue in the back end area. 😳

Doesn't even count against your buck tags. Nice! Just goes to show... they are born like that. 🤣

This comment caught me flat footed! 😂

OP, that’s pretty awesome. How did that rage do? Any destruction photos? I’m always interested.


I'm not a Rage fan but I'll admit it opened him up pretty good. Quartering away angle and it zipped about a 6" gash on its way in. Blood everywhere and did about a 50 yards after running a half-circle

Does that mean it can self inseminate?

Congrats on an extremely rare trophy! I had one that I passed on a few years to see what it would grow into and then last year it disappeared and haven’t seen it since.
