Freaky deer
 

GET THE CLIPPERS!!!

RE: Freaky deer
 

What the hell is that?

RE: Freaky deer
 

Its foundered. The nails grow up like that when that happens. Happened to a mule of my neighbors, and a cow of my uncles not too long ago.

RE: Freaky deer
 

Yikes!!!

RE: Freaky deer
 

I read somewhere (can't remember where) That it occurs when there is too much sugar in their diet.

RE: Freaky deer
 

I've also read that too (not about the sugar) but about the nails...I think it was in North American Whitetail. I'll see if I dig that article up and shed some light on the subject.

RE: Freaky deer
 

I'm pretty sure that that's one of Santa's elf's deer,that's why the nail's grow so long ,they're spending too much time flying all around the country .LOL

nubo

Yep foundered, you usually see that in the horse species including mules and such. I never have seen it in a deer but I have seen cattle foundered so I suppose deer can get that way also. Man you could make some killer coat racks with those babies.

RE: Freaky deer
 

wow that is strange.save the feet makes a good story whan shown like a coat rack that iowabob85 said

RE: Freaky deer

WOW

RE: Freaky deer
 

I'm a nailbiter and those look good!;) Too weird.

RE: Freaky deer
 

Me either. Do you use firefox or IE? Not even sure if it matters.

RE: Freaky deer
 

eww! yuck! what the hell is wrong with that deer! was it a captive deer?

RE: Freaky deer
 

That appears to be a deer that suffered from blue-tongue disease pr epizootic hemmoragic disease (EHD). I saw one in the wild 2 years ago. Wierd watching that thing try to walk around.

RE: Freaky deer
 

Where did you find this dee? And did you call the DNR or any one to see what was wrong

RE: Freaky deer
 

Yes, like others have said..that deer has foundered. I commonly occurs in horses, mules, and cows. One cause of it is that as the hooves continue to grow, but they aren't worn down. Just like humans have to clip their finernails, horses and such need their feet trimmed. If this doe lived in a place where thegroundwasn't rough enough tochip of pieces of hoof off, then they would continue to get longer and longer.

RE: Freaky deer
 

ive seen one that was taken around this area that was like that. weird stuff!! I bet she would kick butt.

RE: Freaky deer
 

WOW that is one hell of a freaky deer! Was it harvested or found? And where's the clippers? lol

RE: Freaky deer
 

That would make one hell of a gun rack. You would have to worry about your rifles falling off!

RE: Freaky deer
 

It's very painful to the deer.

RE: Freaky deer
 

I can't see it with firefox but can with IE.

RE: Freaky deer
 

too much sugar in the diet, what is somebody baiting these bad boys?

RE: Freaky deer
 

A friend of mine killed a HUGE monster buck with hooves like that. He had the 6-8" long "elf hooves" made into a gun rack. Someone told me that pen raised deer sometimes get that condition.

RE: Freaky deer
 

looks like one of those rare tap dancing deer

RE: Freaky deer
 

I was going to say the same thing .I'm pretty sure its hemmoragic disease as well. Its common to find deformed or abnormal hooves as well as cists, boils and undersizedbodies for the age with this disease..Notify your DNR if possible I'm sure they'd be concerned and would wish to document theit in case of future outbreak.
