Florida Hunter Bags a Hermaphrodite Deer

A DeBary man who was out hunting deer last fall got a big surprise when he took one of his deer into the check station.
Joe Stokes was deer hunting on public land in Sumter County on Nov. 12 and shot two deer, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported.

When FWC senior wildlife technician Tim Farley logged in the deer, he discovered that one deer was a hermaphrodite, possessing both male and female reproductive organs. Farley also he logged in another hermaphrodite deer the day before.

"I've been doing this for 27 years, and I've only come across three deer that were 'true' hermaphrodites, those having all of the male and female sex organs," Farley said in a statement.

Robert Vanderhoof, the deer management coordinator for the FWC, said deer that are true hermaphrodites are extremely rare.

I called and shot a bobcat in AZ which was a hermaphrodite. Thought it was a female, took it to my taxidermist. Nope, it's a male, he had internal male organs. This was a huge bobcat for AZ, taxidermist told me biggest he ever saw. Most probably all those hormones went somewhere else, and contributed to the cat's large size.

Closest I have ever seen to that was a doe with antlers. Suprised the hell out of us. Nice 8 point.
