RE: Freaks and oddities - that you've taken
I can’t post pics from work. But I have taken several deer that would fall into this category.
1. I took a buck with a messed up side on his rack. Had a 9.5” bladed browtine on that side.
2. I took a droptine buck that had socks. And his 2 of his hoofs were white or partially white. This buck also had a putrid smelling infected puss ball on his ribcage. Bright green nasty gunk spewed out when my knife hit it.
3. I took a buck with only one functional lung. The other was a small ball of scar tissue fused to the inside of his chest cavity. He also had a giant scar on his lower chest, and a big one across his snout.
4. I took a doe with healed broadhead scars thru the top of her shoulders.
5. I took a doe that had a week or 2 old bullet wound back, and above her spine, it was a little nasty.
6. My first buck ever had a hole in its head where the pedicle meets the skull. It was nasty & scabbed over when I shot him. I believe it was from another buck during a fight.
7. Last years buck has a 3rd antler nubbin growing out of his forehead. Never saw it until the taxidermist pointed it out.
