Deer oddities
« on: November 19, 2012, 02:22:30 AM »
Hello guys!

A guy in our group shot a small spike Saturday. Locked like a really fat fawn to me. As I looked closer, he was about 3.5 years based on teeth... Funny thing is is his lower jaw was about two inches shorter than his upper!!!



A couple years before, I watched my brother shoot a big 5 point with his bow. Good shot right in lungs, a little hi but good shot. The deer ran into a tree and went down. Got up and never stopped... We looked for miles following sparse blood fine ally giving up. Three weeks later, 100 yards from that spot pop shot a 5 point buck. He teased my brother that he shot his buck... My brother said YOU DID!! Walked up to the deer and found two scabs UNDER THE SPINE apparently above the lungs where te arrow went thru!!!! The deer appeared 100% normal before pop shot him!!!


Years ago I shot a small 8 point with one leg about 4" shorter than the others. He walked with a very funny gait/limp. When we gutted him out he had apparently snapped off the front leg earlier in life and the stump and leg bone slid up along side each other and healed that way.

Years before that we regularly found steel broad heads in hams of deer we shot!  In the days of recurves.

Any inf you guys find any oddities?

A number of years ago, I shot a small six point buck. After loading the deer in the truck, a buddy noted that the deer had two knees on one leg! After a closer look, we found that the deer had been either shot or in an accident of some kind. The bone had completely healed but was still exposed and the skin healed around the exposed area. The bone closely matched the hair color from exposure. A statement was made that implied that as there were no arthritic deer in the area, I had found one that could not run as fast!

  I have seen deer just like this twice before, both were small bucks.  I was told that its called " Parrot Mouth " they seem to get by OK but maybe never grow very large ?

Took these pictures with a trail cam at one of our green fields back in October. The young doe has a white patch of hair. While hunting on another one of our greenfields Saturday afternoon a spike came out with the same mark but just a little farther back. Both young, could be brother and sister. I had to check the trail cam pics again after the hunt to make sure the first one was a doe and that we had two with this oddity..

How about a nice looking 9 point killed by my uncle on November 17th this year in Indiana.  It was still in full velvet.  Examination revealed it had no testicles, only a bag full of fat.
 

 
Can't really see it by this angle, but the little G4 nub on its right side is about an inch and a half long making it a 9 point.
