I Got this pic last nite. I'd say this deer will not make it. I can't even imagine what caused his injury.

Almost looks like something pertruding.

 

[Heavyhitter]

Whoa. That's wicked. but i'd say ur right by thinking he wont make it. Sucks for sure.

 

[SOMOHUNTER]

i would try and get permission to put that guy out of his misery ,i hope that aint the bigun

 

[cardiackiller]

good luck....to the buck

 

[Bass Fishin]

Notice how the front legs look really unaturally short..even when it would stand up the front legs would be shorter. Poor thing

 

[Ozarks-Bowhunter]

I think he is just sticking his other leg out and to the side a little to reach the ground to eat. His other side looks to be fine. I had one pic of him where it looks like he just about fell over. It is not the big one that was around here thankfully.

I am getting these pics over a little corn i'm putting out everyday to see what bucks made it. The cam is on a tree that is on our fenceline facing my place. I wonder what the warden would say about shootin him. I bet it would get me a pretty good ticket. It looks like he is coming off my neighbors place anyway so i prob wouldn't even see him during daylight.

if you show the agent those pics i bet he would meet ya half way on something like that.. pretty sad to see a animal suffer like that...

 

[SOMOHUNTER]

I might take the chance of getting in trouble in this situation there is no sense in an animal suffering like that

 

[rangerdvr]

Circle of life, coyotes have to eat too

 

[KenneyS]

thats a shame...

 

[bvp81]

That's nasty:cool3:, someone should put that poor thing down.

 

[Clippers]

Thats probably the worst looking deer I've ever seen. Wonder what caused it, surely not just old age.

 

[Mojorisin]

Call your warden, he or she will let you take the deer I'll bet.
Upon downloading the pic & enhancing it there definitly is bone or something protuding from the shoulder, probably 8" or more.

 

[cshoff]

I hate to see a deer in that condition. A real shame.

 

[thompson]

That is hard to look at. I think I would be looking to get the deer out of its misery:toilet:

 

[SHEDHEAD]

:cool3:

Can't say I've ever seen anything like that!

 

[Vector]

Looks like a tough deer that got hit by a car to me.

Are you sure it is a buck?

I had photos of this little buck in the fall on my game camera at my feeder. I figured he couldn't last the winter but in June I got this picture of him in velvet. He was carrying that front leg the same in each photo. I saw him a week before this picture and he was just barely getting around. He had lost a lot more weight during the winter. He hobbled from my corn feeder to the little pond in the woods. He stayed in an area about 100 yards in circumference.

Needless to say....he didn't make it to breeding season. Poor fella....I felt sorry for him.
