Would you shoot this deer?

[Buck Tales]

Got some rare photos in my email to share and the question was, when this deer grows up would you shoot it? I don't honestly know that I would, but that would depend on how my freezer looked and not the deer itself. :D To each his own, but would you shoot?

That is really cool! I myself probably would not until she got way up in age just becuase it is so unique and there are so many other normal doe or buck running around...it would be exciting to see this rare coloration roaming around. It would be cool to see how it interacts with the heard as it grows.

But if I watched her until she was between 5-7 years old and coming to the end of her life span...I would certainly take her out and do a full body mount or deer rug.:thup:

Shoot a melonistic deer? ABSOLUTLY! Actually we have a member here on the barn that has taken a melonistic doe before. I forget the screen name, but The Ridge knows him.

I heard Bucks County PA is number #3 on the list of most melonistic deer. Don't know if it is 100% true though.

[grtwhthunter/fisherman]

id let it reproduce a yr than eat it

[ropaque]

i definitely would. when shes grown of course.

[ACEarcher]

It is a recessive trait similair to say a piebald. Recessive traits don't pass easily.

[bowtechman1966]

nope:huh:

[deadeyedick]

Ask this ? in another yr or 2 !! :D Neat little deer though !!:)

[hunt4life]

I would pass on it!....very cool looking deer!:)

[chad w]

i would like to see if it past gene's arond til end of it's life then maybe if oppertunity presented it self i be greatful to take him/her and preserve hide something you'd never have chance to see again

[mshoyt]

I would let him or her have a chance to try and pass on the recessive trait for a good couple of years and if the opportunity presents its self then do something neat with its hide. It is pretty cool and unique!

[Droptine1]

sad but true. in 25, it's not a good weekend unless the army screws up hunts for 12 people, shoots 3 buttons and a unlucky doe. then tells everyone how great they are, while sitting in the bar for lunch.


that little deer gets the pass, for a few years.

[mccool]

[schwa]

thats veal baby! i myself try to take mature animals. see a lot of half white deer in bucks county also,and seen an all white 4 pointer in tioga county in aug. a couple years back, never to be seen again..

[Ole 20 Point]

Aw, why would anyone wanna shoot a cute lil deer like that? :razz:

[brokenwing]

years ago there was a blk n wht doe in doupont!!!

[snortweeez]

I'd let it go. Question is, would you shoot another deer that size? I wouldn't. So why shoot that one. If you are hungry for meat, shoot a bigger one.

[boatliftman]

Most of us eat veal and lamb? I always feel bad though, so I rarely shoot little ones even though they taste sooooo good:)

[BowtechKilla]

Full mount.......:D

[fewmoredrifts]

NO, YOUR NOT KIDDING!:thdown:

[ruddy22]

Man with pics like that I think national geographic should hire you:thup:

[Deermaster]

If you can eat a bake bean you can eat that deer. I would shoot it.

[letdeermature]

That deer really cool. You should catch it and keep it for a pet.

[Birdman2787]

Let it fly....still taste the same no matter what it looks like.

[brokenwing]

She gets the pass for a few yrs!!! Wen i was a kid there was a blk n wht doe up the street from me! We would throw her apples everyday after school n my father saw another but she was all blk while he was workin. Both deer in salem county

[Buckshot61]

Look at the Doe's head, she has a lot of black in her.

[futbal2332]

I would def shoot her in a couple years, i would most likely mount the head with that nice dark fur she has!!!!

Looks like a fresh birth!:eek:

[robhunt]

i say give it a few years. in the pic i can not tell if it is a buck or doe. but she could have a buck and that would be an awesome deer.

[Marlinhunter36]

Sure as heck would take that deer!
