Well most know my luck this year has just been awful. Well it changed lastnight. I was in my stand no longer than 30 minutes when a deer stepped out of the corn field and came right in for a shot. I saw it was a button buck, then a spike came out stuck its noes right up between its legs and attempted to breed it . I was like um ok, I think Ill take the buck if he offers me a shot. Well the buck never did offer me a shot so I figured the button buck may just be an antlered doe, so as soon as It turned broadside I let one go. A little lower than I had wanted but a good shot. It ran about 10 feet, and walked away. I began thinking to myself, not another gut shot no way in hell! I watched as it walked about 40 yards annd laid down. I got down out of the stand and retrieved my arrow which was covered in blood and a little bit of guts. There was good blood from where the deer was standing when I shot so I knew I hit something vital. I walked out of the woods and to my car and called my neighbor, 4:30, he came about 5:15, between the time I called him and he showed up I had already located the deer but backed out because its head was thrashing and didnt want to push it. Well at 5:15 we began the walk towards the deer and found it dead. I rolled it over and we both looked at eachother and found that this deer has both sexes!!! Ive heard of this before but this is a first for me. Had all female and male parts along with 1/2 inch spikes. Charlie and I looked at eachother baffled at what I had just shot. We figure this deer was about 1 1/2 yo and probably a good thing I took it out. I will try to get some pics before I process it tonight after work. Now to focus on the 4 great bucks I saw lastnight while waiting for Charlie to arrive. Anyway now that I know my bow is shooting as it used to before all the problems earlier this year, its time to get some bone on the ground before gun season. I was using Wasp Hammer 100 gr broad head. This is the same I used last year when I shot the small 7 pointer, and that buck did the same thing after the shot, ran about 10 feet and walked and laid down. Im not sure why they dont run but im not going to complain, they must be that sharp and cause one hell of a wound that it hurts to bad to run??
ok i'll be the first to say it.... Pics?????? dont act like im the only sick one here hey a deer down is a deer down! congratz!
That's very interesting. I've never heard of hermaphrodite animals, but it makes sense that it's possible. That's unreal that you had the oppurtunity to take one. Congrats. I wonder if the DNR would have any interest in it?
Didnt get any pics of it lastnight, it was too dark, will be getting some today but you wont be able to see any physical parts.
Ive seen them before but nothing like this one. Ive seen antlered deer and one with both sexes but not all 3. I could care less if the dnr has any interest in it or not, its going in the freezer tonight after work :d
WBH, I shot a 3 pt several years ago that had about a 3" spike on one side, and a 3" tiny fork on the other. When I rolled him/her over to gut him, he had a tiny little penis, probably not much bigger than a very small dog, and his testicles were maybe the side of a couple of shelled peanuts. He didn't have a Vagina or anything, but weighed about 170-180# on the hoof. Ended up the "big doe" I though I was shooting was the ODDEST buck I'd ever seen, if indeed it was a "buck."
Not to be an @$$ or anything, but wouldn't that make this deer a hermaphrodite? Ok, I guess the story would justify it being Bi-sexual too.
