Most seasoned deer hunters have seen or heard of an antlered doe being harvested. Usually these deer are referred to as hermaphrodites, or to use the common vernacular, “morphodites.” The occurrence of does with antlers poses two interesting questions: 1) how common is the occurrence of antlered does, and 2) are these antlered does truly hermaphrodites? A hermaphrodite is an animal that possess both sexual organs and many of the secondary sex characteristic of males and females of that species.
