Roe antler question

[Neal 1,930]

I get a lot of deer near me. Initially just roe but, during the last year, I've also seen a fallow buck, a pair of sika and a gradually growing population of muntjac.

During the last two weeks I've noticed that one particular roe (with a kid of c. seven months old) has what appears to be antlers. I was initially surprised simply because of the time of year; I've seen a couple of individuals with the big buttons appearing, but these are so small that they're only visible through the binoculars. However, this individual (the one with the kid) has definite antlers. But...they're tiny things. No velvet, simply antlers. They're only about one or two inches at most with, obviously, no branching at all. They're more like long studs or the other way to describe them is that they look like normal antlers which have been snapped off near the base. I'm sure I've read somewhere that some roe does can have small antlers. Do you all think this is the case? It looks and acts very "doe-like" in every other way. Thoughts please.

You sure it's not hanging about with muntjac. As for does with antlers I've not heard of that, hopefully someone can enlighten us.

That'll be one of these woke trendy metrosexual bucks that identifies as a doe, they're enough to get on your tits
