VERY cool pictures. That 3-legged buck is the perfect example of how a front leg injury affects the opposite side's antler growth.

Great 9-point too (pushing 10-point).

You got to name that 3 legged buck. Nice 9 point.

That crippled buck must have grown up around Elder Holler Rd.

Interesting to actually see a photo of a wound on one side causing a deformed antler on the other side... cool but also sad for the deer. Wonder what the heck happened to it.

...but man I hate seeing a pic like that just makes you sad in a way or it does my anyways. I would think I would have to burn a buck tag and put that lil feller down if he came by me.

I think you would be surprised by how tough deer are and how little they let major injuries bother them. Outside of primates, animals appear to have a ver different "pain" response than humans. In fact, with humans, much of the physical pain we feel is created in our minds.

I once shot a nice buck that was hot after a doe, jumping over fallen trees and running full tilt. Yet during butchering it was found he had a completely broken femur. The two ends weren't attached. That kind of injury would have caused a human immobilizing pain.

I've got one on my wall that had a rear leg injury and it effected the opposite rack also BSK...actually, it was a hip injury. Nice Pics!

I bet that 3 legged buck can scoot about as good as a 4 legged buck. It's amazing how well animals can adapt. It would also be interesting to see what his rack is like over the next few years. Does the wound cause antler deformation the first year or every year?

 

[HOOK]

Great example of Injury on one side and antler deformity on the opposite side.

 

[treestand]

Wonder if he can make a scrape

 

[stryker]

BSK nailed that one!!!!! about the injury.

 

[RiverBuck10]

Good looking young deer!!

 

[slagtown_dfa]

Nice 9 point! the buck feeding behind will be nice as well in a year or 2

 

[JoshZ7]

weird

 

[East TN Bowhunter]

nice nine pointer!

 

[stryker]

nice deer and that one little buck is a survivor for sure. I've seen 3 legged deer run with other deer and jump a fence just as good as the other deer. They have to adapt.
