    Little confused on this one. Has nubs like a button buck, but sure doesn't have the head, body, etc of a BB.
    Looks more like a doe to me. Seen this before??

    That's the biggest BB I've ever seen, if it is a BB! Maybe its a doe starting some antler growth???

    I personally think it's a doe that has a genetic defect. Throw and arrow his way and we will know for sure.

    I've seen antlered does. The neck generally gives them away (that and the lack of twig 'n berries). It's possible that it's just a huge bb. Only one way to be sure. Someone on this forum killed a very large BB this year. I, however, killed the smallest bb ever... so..

    I'd say it's a form of an antlered doe... Give her another year...:D

    Looking at the neck and face.That's a mature doe that's trying to grow antlers.
    I'd put her in the freezer.

    It just doesn't look like any BB I've seen. A BB usually will have a short snout, short neck, stubby body, etc.
    Not those enormous ears either.

    Fawns have short faces. This deer has an adult head. I'd say It's a doe with nubs.
