Very strange indeed. Seems to me a read an article about deer with that condition, but I can't recall what magazineit was.
This buck was a truck kill near Alma. DNR said that high protein,specifically corn was the cause of the abnormal feet. The deer is currently sitting in the alma bait shop freezer.
The statement made in that article is a little confusing to me. I always thought that corn has very little protein, as it is mostly carbs.
