Meet “Whiteshoes”

No disrespect to those that do this, but I honestly get kind of tired of the hunting shows and people naming the animals that they get on camera like they are humans or pets, and then they just go on to kill them later that fall or the following year.

In this case, it seems that Ol' Whiteshoes is a pet to some degree and she's really good at pumping out the fawns. The "shoes" are so cool. Great story and thanks for sharing. "Long live Whiteshoes!"
 
Growing up our neighbor had a 3 legged doe they saved after a she got hit by a car. Every season we spray painted "DO NOT SHOOT" on her. She used to follow me up into the woods when I went hunting, just like a dog. She lived to be 6 or 7 before some jack!@$%^ shot her. He bragged about it and the "owner" John Berry was a BIG dude and temperamental....he beat that fella nearly to death. Literally put him in ICU
 
Guys,

This is Whiteshoes. She has been on mine and my neighbor's property for I think, going on 5 years now. She has produced 10 fawns in that time and has 2 this year. We've decided that this girl deserves a pass and agreed she's off limits. We want to see how long she stays with us and we are happy to have her here. That said, if she wanders off our properties, all bets are off.

Anyway, I think all of you respect and are thankful for the animals you harvest. In this case, we have decided to extend our respect one step further. Long live Whiteshoes!

Good job!
If she wonders over this way, I would let her walk also :cool:
 
Good on you for letting her walk.
Me on the other hand is what you call a equal opportunity killer, brown, white or piebald it doesn't matter to me as long as it's legal.
The only names I give deer are lunch and dinner.
When our deer population was low I let them big does walk but our population is very high and it's my job to help control it.
 
Does any of her offspring have similar color markings?
We have one yearling here that is split along her length white/brown. I think we will call her Oreo. But having no way to do a paternity test, I have no Idea if Whiteshoes is her mother. And here I thought not knowing who your father is was frustrating!
