Evidence of sex

[SAR]

Does anyone know of any good videos or web sites that illustrate how to preserve evidence of sex for both bulls and cows?

The Colorado Dept of wildlife has a good one on their website.

Just start skinning out his junk or the nipple first and work your way around it. If you do this you will be fine. With a bull you have two chances to get it right!

I understand that, but a nipple is not proof of sex on a cow.

Hi Pete, I watched the video on the CO DOW web site last night and that is what they saved for a cow elk ID.

That's what an Idaho Game Warden told me. I hope you don't have to leave an ovarie or something, what else you gonna do?

I've been checked in Colorado, Wyoming and California and nipples are good as long as they are attached to an edible piece of meat. It is very easy to tell the difference between nipples on does and bucks. Size mostly and also even tho they may not have a fawn, most are not totally dry and will have traces of milky fluid. I usually leave enought skin attached (almost as far back as the anus) along with the nipples, that anyone can see it doesn't have any male organs. You don't need any evidence of sex on an either sex tag.
