Let it up to me

Hunting whitetails in West Virginia and yesterday I shot a 5 point buck that had no tail at all. I mean it didn't even have a stump where a tail used to be. Has anyone else ever shot one like this?

 

[BRICKBURN]

Can't say that I have seen that one before.

Maybe it's good I took him out of the gene pool.

Looks like he's got a red nose too, must've been hell for him growing up!

Well he was all by himself when I ended his misery.

I skinned and boned that buck today, he had no tail bone at all. I checked the buck in with the DNR as required by law, I reported it as a whitetail buck, they had no category for no tailed deer.

A no tail whitetail.....durn confusing to be sure

 

[gizmo]

Lol. First for me

 

[K-man]

How do you know it was a "white tail"????? Hahaha

Interesting. Haven't shot whitetail but have never seen a african animal without a tail like that.

Interesting...

Ive seen stumps before... none without at least a stump. Odd.

I've seen that a couple times before locally. Something going on with genetics? Than again Three Mile Island is up river from me.

We had a calf born with no tail one time. Could be the same kind of deal?

, ...... they had no category for no tailed deer.

You should be able to keep your tag and shoot another buck.

 

[bluey]

Yeah I know what you mean, Three Mile Island isn't that far from where I live either. I shot that buck right next to the Cacapon River, God knows what's flowing in that river. In Wyoming we hunt on a ranch that has one of the largest uranium mines in the world smack dab in the middle of it. I guess I'm just asking to see some weird things.
