Antlered doe

[Bhoesl]

This whitetail has been hanging around my backyard all fall and I’m about 99% sure it’s an antlered doe. Has little spikes even smaller than you’d expect on a yearling buck, maybe 2” long. Always has a fawn with her.
I’ll be interested to see if she’s still around next year if those antlers ever get any bigger.
Edit: sorry I can’t figure out why that first photo keeps showing up sideways…

It definitely happens, not very often.

My friends killed a Roosevelt cow elk years back that had one spike horn they thought the other side was broke off , when they got to it , found out it was not a young bull but a cow , they’ve always referred to it as the Shemale , this was back before everyone had cell phones

Alabama Hunter Tags an 8-Pointer That Turns Out to Be a Doe (Sort Of)

Melvin Dobbs' deer sure looked like a good buck but, upon closer inspection, it turned out the 8-pointer was a pseudohermaphrodite.
