Bumpy said that new stalkers around his way were only shooting bucks in the summer because they can't tell the sex of roe in the winter. That's ridiculous.

Do you mean they are trying to avoid shooting a buck in the doe season? sexing roe is pretty basic stuff. Why do they let it put them off culling during the winter? Once they cast alot of bucks get mistaken for does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe are really easy to sex, regardless of antlers especially in winter coat. Lack of testicles and pizzle are a big giveaway, as is vaginal tush and the shape of the rump patch. Just observation is another way - kids at heel might suggest she is a doe, also if they squat to pee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 You would think so. But anyway we are going off the thread here. Preserving meat in summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your posts on here you seem to shoot quite a few bucks, I bet you have the use for one. Effectively thats what I will do. I have a row of hoists on the log store that I can put the mosy net around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
