This buck here I mounted because I nicknamed him the "Cripple" buck.



I shot him because of an injury. You can see he's a smaller deer, neck and chest....

His right rear leg was smashed. His femur bone was sticking out at the "knee" and healed over. His paw was curled and he was walking what would have been the top and he was caliced over and hard. His hip was small. It was obvious he was smashed by a car. They go through a lot and they are amazingly resilient animals.
