Whitetail Doe with Antlers

A whitetail doe with antlers stands in a hardwood forest at sunrise.

 

A unique highlight of last fall. Notice the deformed antlers still in velvet. Doe's with a hormone (testosterone) imbalance can grow antlers, although they don't always, if ever, come out of velvet. Dr. Grant Woods reports the odds of this being 1 in 10,000. Image taken late October.
