This excerpt from a story in the Springfield News-Leader I found astonishing:
Twenty minutes before sunset, (Curtis Russell) spotted the deer among a group of does and one small buck. The bigger whitetail used its antlers to keep the smaller male at a distance.
“I did a 50-yard belly crawl to cut the distance and got to within 175 yards,” Russell said. “I was using a Remington 700 .30-06, and when I took the shot it was a clean hit.”
Now for the biggest surprise in Russell’s 26 years of deer hunting: The buck wasn’t a buck at all. It was a freak of nature, a doe sporting a huge set of antlers. Read the rest of the story here.

Where are y’all located & do you still have super huge whitetails available if so what are you asking money wise?

That’s cool! Rare it has so many points..I shot an antlered doe with my bow when I was in my teens but she only had spikes that were about 4 inches long. I couldn’t believe that the little buck I shot had a milk sack and female genitalia when I walked up on her. Congrats to this hunter on such a unique doe!
