I just had two whitetails munching on a crab apple tree 20 feet from my living room window. One of them had the weirdest hooves: Each hoof was wayyyyy too long, like 8-10 " total, curved up at the ends so they looked like little elf slippers or some such nonsense. I looked it up, and apparently its not uncommon. Not my pic but this definitely gets the point across:
Mine wasn't this big a deer, so the hooves were skinnier and not as bulky. Definitely a strange issue... |

Doesn't seem to hold them back much. That's a nice rack.

Do you live down wind from Nine Mile?
That may not be uncommon but I have never seen that or tracks like that.

Makes you wonder what else might be wrong with him.....something that could affect the meat?

Quote HistoryArticle is retarded. Protein and carbs are about as far apart as two nutrients can be - yet, article says they're the same. Dumbass BS for the uninformed. |

The deer might have had EHD or Blue Tongue at some point in it life. I have seen some long hoofs on deer but never like that bucks.

Perhaps the deer is a migrant worker from our Southern neighbor???

Make a lamp like in the Christmas story. But with deer legs obviously.

Shot a pronghorn buck a couple years back with foundered hooves. They weren't long like that but they curved underneath and crossed under/over each other. He was pretty lame and we though he had been injured. Game warden knew I had a gun tag and asked me to put him down. Didn't hurt that he was a 15 inch goat.
Disregard the date. Don't have any pictures of the hooves. |
