Antlered Doe

[landtracdeerhunter]

One of our family members got a nice 30 yard shot Sunday afternoon at what was believed to be a 4 point buck. Upon field dressing, he discovered it was actually an antlered doe. Spike on one side and three points on the other. As we we loading it, it shed the spike.  Knowing very little on the subject, I did some digging and came up with some interesting facts. It caused by Endocrine Imbalance which can be caused by to much body fat, chemical fert. and or bisphenol -A  (bpa) a chemical found in plastic. One in 4500 doe are antlered. Most never loose the velvet on the antlers. This one is hard horned. Nothing was mentioned about shedding as this one already did. 

Some questions I have: 1. Do these doe have reproductive organs and are able to have fawns. 2: Do they act like other normal doe or bucks? 

In only seeing them online, it is really great seeing one in person. I will post some picks when feeling come back into my hands, LOL.
