    I was looking for a doe but this long cow horn spike came in. Most of the other bucks his age around here are 6 and 8 points. Either way, he's going to be good eating!

      Just hate cleaning pregnant does. Not a big fan of abortion.
      And you could count her as a lot more than 1, she should reproduce at least 1 and more likely twins for the next couple of years.

        This is true whether you kill her early or late.

          Some places have a balanced deer herd and don't need those extra mouths each year. I would much rather kill a doe pregnant with twins off my place then that spike. Not because I am against killing spikes in the right situation but because killing the doe fits my management better.

            And what about her daughters and daughters daughters and daughters daughters daughters?

            It doesn't make any sense to go further down the rabbit hole than 1.

            Don't count deer that don't exist yet.

            Understand reproduction, and herd maintenance, but one deer counts as one deer.

                Who opens the gut cavity anymore to find out if she was preggo or not? Only time I open the cavity is to get organs for the kid's science classes.

                    You can't win, they wont let you, even if you are right. Ignorance is bliss to some.

                        Rub down with salt and pepper, cut out the negativity and he will taste fine
