unusual 8 point
« on: November 21, 2004, 07:57:49 AM »
well, me and my dad got our deer second day, I got a doe and my dad got this 8 point, both shot at same time both dropped in their tracks, mine was shot with a .243 85 gr. HBPT and my dad used a .270 130 gr. ballistic tip. Look at the picture and see if you notice anything unusual about this buck. His front hooves are white. has anyone ever seen this, ive seen many deer but none with white hooves, is this common, but anyway, they will make a nice gun rack. Now I just need to fill my buck tag.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/okmcgrawfan/deer/DSCF04492.jpg

Hey, congratulations.  Your dad's buck is very nice.  But it won't eat any better than your doe. :)  Good luck on the rest of your season.

I went this evening and got a 7 point that weighed 95 pounds, so now ive filled my tags for this year. I shot him with my dads .270 at 210 yards.

I would say that your Dad's buck is a piebald.  No, it doesn't have white all over, but it does have "extra" white on the legs and the hooves are white.  I shot a piebald doe many years ago that had striped hooves ... every hoof was half black / half white.  Of course, she also had white spots/splotches all over her body.  Have you seen any other piebald deer in this area?  

Definitely will make a great looking gun rack, though!!  ... Crayfish

No Crayfish I have never seen a piebald deer and I,ve lived and hunted around here most of my life. But I bet you're right, his back hooves are  striped like you described.
