What would be the legal way to tag a buck that had already shed its antlers ? Especially if you had already killed your 2 bucks . I know what I’d do just curious what everyone else thinks .
Ya never uh ohed one ?I would know what i was shooting before pulling the trigger.
Depending on the state it’s legal to tag a buck that has shed its antlers as anterless deer isn’t it ? I would say the right thing to do is be honest and learn from it. What ever the consequences may be.. mistakes happen and courts do work with folks on honest mistakes should it have to go that route…you learn a lot about folks and there character by how they do things when no one is looking or think will know…I would respect a person a lot more that is honest with people than one who is a sneak and criminalWhat would be the legal way to tag a buck that had already shed its antlers ?

Your telling me if you shot a buck thinking it was a doe and you walked up to it and saw his horns had fallen off , you would call and tell dnr you accidentally shot a buck and mistaken for a doe? I just find that hard to believe no matter who you are, crap happens if you hunt enough eventually it’s bound to happen especially shooting does late seasonDepending on the state it’s legal to tag a buck that has shed its antlers as anterless deer isn’t it ?

I use to think and do like you mentioned and gave those ways up many years ago. If I put myself in a position and make a mistake I will own that mistake period. I don’t hunt with those who choose to cut corners break laws and lie…in the giving scenario being mentioned, being it is a anterless deer having no visible antler above the hair line I would tag the deer as antlerless deer. People do make mistakes and that happens daily. I do still get excited shooting any deer however there is a major excitement difference between a big buck and a doe.. with that being said there would be no rush to have to shoot a “ so called doe” to have to hurrry and get a shot off. There generally is plenty of them. Hunting is not a competition and a status to be socially accepted and to boast about…. So I respectfully disagree with you…Your telling me if you shot a buck thinking it was a doe and you walked up to it and saw his horns had fallen off , you would call and tell dnr you accidentally shot a buck and mistaken for a doe?

Great question antWhat would be the legal way to tag a buck that had already shed its antlers ? Especially if you had already killed your 2 bucks . I know what I’d do just curious what everyone else thinks .
Not one time. I've always known what Im shooting at 100% or I dont pull the trigger. I take far to many animals to risk taking one I didn't intend to.Ya never uh ohed one ?
