My buddy bow killed a badly limping doe yesterday.When he got to the deer he found out why the deer was limping.It has a 2 1/2" piece of steel pipe jammed around its lower leg between the hoof and the dew claws.The pipe apparently has been there for quite some time,as it was tight to the deers' leg.It had been causing the deer alot of discomfort according to my buddy.He said the deer could not put any pressure on the leg was stumbling badly in the deep snow.The area around the pipe also looked raw and very bloody.The hoof actually looked as though it was bleeding from the bottom.There was also a growth around the upper portion of the pipe.A portion of the hoof was also white in color.Take a look at the pictures.

god i hate to see stuff like that, thank god your buddy took care of it atleast now its not in pain anymore.

That is Really Wild! Thanks for sharing the photos!

what happened was................
the deer got married, after she got pregnant, she gained weight and couldnt get the wedding ring off.

amazing she survived that long with it on her leg. Certainly would make her slow trying to escape from predators.

Thats messed up good thing he did shoot it

Man,those deer are super tough. I imagine that ol gal was in a lot of pain.
Glad he put her down, and glad you shared the story!

Ive heard of Banded Ducks but never a banded Buck! or in this case doe.... ive never seen anything like that before... probably a good thing he took her though!

Ouch! That hurt's just looking at it much less having to walk on it.

Thats is weird ?!? Looks painful!!!
