Went out this morning for a late season doe antelope hunt and was able to connect! It was a beautiful morning and I had the company of my wife with me! Great day. She was an uncommon doe and had some little horns!

Most fun you can have with your pants on! Just curious, Why do you consider her uncommon?
The first doe antelope I ever shot in Wyoming had little horns. I asked the game warden about it and he said it was an uncommon doe when they have horns! But actually I have shot a fair number of them that have little horns. Maybe not that uncommon!?

Congrats!
I've also shot doe antelope with horns. Seen one 2 years ago that was about 6" on each side, but on private so no shot. Look close while glassing, you'll see them.

I shot an antelope doe years ago that had horns almost 6" long. I gave the head and cape to a friend in Minnesota, he mounted it.

Good job on shooting some meat! I shot a doe in WY that had little horns and the thing I noticed was that her hooves were all beat up. I picked the biggest one out of the herd that didn't appear to have a fawn and shot it. It was really tough so I ground it into burger. Flavor was good though
