    In fact I know people have done that thinking they were shooting at a doe because the small nubs were impossible to see. Legal.

    Rare, though.

    Regs only stipulate length when referring to tines.....not antlers. The regs classify antler as a bony protrusion....if the deer has visible bone then it’s a buck and can’t be taken on an anterless tag. If the deer has started growing antlers and they don’t break the hide then it can be classified as antlerless.

    I'd follow Valerius Geist's recommendation and take the young one. The older animal survives for a reason. Let it keep living and reproducing. Now, see a lone doe... I'd shoot that!

    Antlered Animal
    - means a member of the
    deer family over one year of age bearing visible
    bony antlers.
    Antlerless Animal
    - means a member of
    the deer family bearing no visible antlers. The
    small skin or hair covered protuberances of
    male fawns and calves do not constitute antlers.

    Shoot the one that you can drive to. Easy-on-the-back venison is my favorite type of venison.

    Just make sure you have the correct variety of antlerless deer before squeezing off the shot.

    Re: Shooter or not?

    I came across this problem twice last season, twice I saw does with twin fawns in my LEH region. The fawns were too small, and if I shot the doe, I think I would have been killing 3 deer, there's a reason that the fawns stay with their mother until she kicks them out at about ( 1 1/2 years) just before she gives birth to new fawns, theres lots that she had to teach them.

    I would personally only shoot a doe that had no fawns around. I’m not desperate enough to shoot a fawn or a doe with fawns around.
