The deer did not have any horns, a)though a two-year-old, and weighing 150 pounds. Further, it never had had -any horns. : ; Does with horns, bucks with. three horns, have often been reported of Michigan and other American deer, but this is the first hornless American buck reported, although some European deer sometimes lack such weapons, but yet are able to whip the horned ones, S epeemmereeeneee eT Advertised Letters.
