Can anyone explain this guy to me? Book Cliffs buck from Oct. 24, 2021.

Bucks will sometimes shed early if they’re injured or sick, but he looks perfectly healthy to me. Looks like he just never grew them. I’ve heard of a handful of bucks like this. He’d be a good one to take out on a doe hunt, although I don’t know of any doe hunts on the books.

........ for the last 30 years mule deer haven’t needed antlers.

Nature won’t be denied......

he kept seeing all his friends with antlers die so he got smart and stopped growing his to LIVE

It’s part of the deer transgender movement.

The elk are doing it too…

This pic was taken in mid November last year.

Some bucks dress up in drag during the hunt to avoid being shot.

I asked in another thread about does with nubs. I swear I have a recent picture of one with her fawn. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

Buddy must be trying his hand at Darwinism, pretty soon there might not be bucks with antlers anymore in the books

The rut wont be as fun to watch when a buck fight consists of two antlerless bucks up on their hind legs pawing at each other.

2lumpy · Nov 11, 2021

How about two spike bucks, with hind legs pawing........ thats epic....... that’s what I’ve been seeing for 30 years, another 30 and it could be two bucks with no antlers. Like I said, what do bucks need antlers for, now days? Nobody believes in managing mule deer under any thing that resembles the natural selection process. Utah manages for 5 inch antlered bucks.
