ANOTHER GOOD BUCK FROM THE RED RIVER
Yet another great buck has been taken from the lease. This freak was arrowed saturday morning with a 52# draw custom longbow, and cedar arrow from a distance of about 18 yards. He was grunted in and shot by my wifes uncle.
He is a 14 pointer with double drop tines. Total gross boone and crockett was 145+. the inside spread was only 14" but i think he makes up for that with character. He weighed 160 on the hoof and dressed at just under 120lbs. the coolest part of this buck was not that he was shot with a bow nor that he has these crazy horns but that he was only 3 hooved. One of his real hooves was completely nubbed and he seemed to be walking on it just fine with only a slight limp.

I'm damn well ready to get down there. Wed just doesnt seem to wanna get here fast enough.
That is a freaky deer. Do you think its foot was a birth defect or did it get bitten by a coyote or caught in a trap?
I THINK IT WAS A BIRTH DEFECT FROM THE EFFICIENT WAY THE DEER SEEMED TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT WHO KNOWS
I don't typically have any type of buck fever anymore but I think something that freaky would get my mind in a knot. I am especially impressed that the shooter used a bow, what focus.
If the deer lost a foot as a fawn and then lived for years after it would probably have pretty good locomotion by the time it could grow a crown like that.
HE SAID THAT THIS BUCK MOVED VERY WELL AND WAS ONE OF THE FASTEST DEER HED EVER SEEN AFTER BEING SHOT
Did yall pull an approx age on that critter?
One more thing...necropsy, there must be a necropsy done on that club-footer. I'd be curious to see that Bob Dole deer up close and with out the skin on that gimp leg.
HES 3 1/2 TO 4 1/2 BUT WE WONT BE ABLE TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE JAW TILL THE TAXIDERMIST GETS IT OUT, AND HES ALREADY BEEN DELEGGIFIED
Anyone give that leg a good lookin over? Make an awesome hat rack.
