Ever see an 8 point doe?
« 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!

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.

Heard tell of it several times over the years, but have never seen one in person. Pretty cool.

I killed a very large fork horned doe a while back and haven't seen one since.
