Illinois Doe With Antlers?

Last time down in Illinois Johnny checked one of the trail cameras on the outside of our property.  When we looked at the pictures, we were surprised to find this "buck" in full velvet on November 13th.  After a closer look, it appears it could be a doe with antlers.  The small neck and the doe behind it lead us to believe it is not a buck.

I'd love to hear your opinions!

I read an article about this.  Since it is scientifically a possibility, I'll call it a doe based on your observations.

Doe's tend to have non typical points t oo when they grow antlers. the snout is too elongated for a buck, as well as other facial features that point towards a doe.  Go shoot it and find out.
