In Va. it says Antlered bucks must have antlers above the hairline.
Antlerless deer are not defined as does, but simply antlerless.
I do find it odd that they call deer with antlers bucks and not antlered.

The deer has to be tagged with a 'any deer' or 'buck' tag.
In Minnesota a 'legal buck' is one with 3 inches of visibile antler on ONE side - I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure a bunch of those 13 points are more than 3 inches<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
As for a buck mounting her being gay - well - I'm not sure about that... And you think we're confused - what about the poor 5 year old 175 incher that now can't trust his nose - or eyes??? I see whitetail psych's popping up everywhere to counsel the deer with *issues*...

It happened in Washington this year, A guy shot a big mulie buck, when he went to gut it he saw that it didn't have the whole package.

RE: 13-point deer shot by hunter turns out to be doe
Ive heard of it one other time before. My grandfather used to be a town cop and he had to go arrest a man who shot a doe with antlers. This was back in the 60's and the shot what he thought was a buck. It turned out to be a 4 point doe. The DNR wanted to fine him and give him jail time. He got out of it, it definetly would blow your mind to kill one like that.
