I had photos of this deer 3 years ago and just got more of it last week. I think it is a doe.

Defiantly looks like a doe......question is do you shoot her if you can or give her a permanent pass for having the best hair cut?

Now the big question, by state regulations if it is a doe do you tag it as a buck or doe? I believe the regs define antlers as protruding from the skull.

We’ve communicated on this same deer before. Response I got from Lloyd Fox in 2016 when I was back home hunting and caught “it” on camera:

“There have been lots of changes in the assignment lately. Right now LT Dave Adames is covering Cowley County. His number is xxxxxxxx. I spoke with the law enforcement folks at Wichita and they agreed, if the antlers are visible, an antlerless permit is not valid to take the deer. I'm sure there are other antlerless deer in the area that might be a better choice for you.”

KAR 115-4-13 section (d) (2) defines the antlerless deer permit as: "An antlerless deer permit shall be valid only for a deer without a visible antler plainly protruding from the skull."

It used to say “visible polished antler.” I wonder if this was exploited during the youth and early muzzleloader seasons and warranted a change.

If you shoot it, it’ll cost you your buck tag.

I picked up the "cactus" buck again...hasn't changed much since last year, but it looks like it's growing down towards its eyes?

I’ve had this buck around for a couple years, stays in velvet all year.
