Dwarf deer

[backyardtndeer]

Remember ski posting about his experience on his property with dwarf deer, kind of interesting story that popped up in my Google tab https://www.clarionledger.com/story...phy-buck-weighing-only-93-pounds/71956797007/.

What a tiny deer. Crazy

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

Crazy!

Looks like the Grinches dog Max...

I killed one in LA that weighed 72 pounds and had very short legs and a big underbite... That genetic thing is in the piebald range. But, he had a normal coat color except for a different face mask... Very weird looking deer.

That's crazy!

Speaking of coat color is it just me or does the deer in that article look to be very dark. Maybe a reverse pie ball if that's even a thing

Barely looks like a whitetail.

That mask is similar to what I was describing... I found this pic. I was watching a cutover on a NWR, and noticed something moving. Spotted antlers and shot it when it stepped out from behind cover, but noticed it looked funny in the scope... The buck had no white nose ring, and a badly undershot lower jaw... That led me to research what caused it all...

Be interesting if they did a DNA test on it to see if there's any Coues deer in it, or like the warden speculated that it's from an issue with a chromosome.

Piebaldism is linked to many genetic defects, including overbite, dwarfism, roman nose, and a number of other genetic abnormalities. None of them good things.

The eight point pie bald I killed was short legged . Rack was decent but I shot this buck because he wouldn't stop blowing .

I killed a spike on the muzzleloader several years ago. When I first saw it I thought it was a fawn. He had 4" antlers and dressed about 40 lbs.

Pretty mount.

I was hunting Hatchie Bottoms 30 years ago and saw a herd of tiny deer. There were 8 of them and it was too early for Christmas. At the time, my hunting buddy saw them too so I guess we weren't crazy. I'll never forget that. It's like they escaped from somebody's hobby farm. Weird!

Ha! You must have been in my neck of the woods lol. The oompa loompa deer really do exist. And there's nothing apparent wrong with them. They're just scaled down versions of normal deer.
