RE: Picture of Strange Deer.
Have you ever seen a cow or horsethat has "foundered". It happens when they eat too much feed/grass. The long turned up hoves is a direct result of foundering. Any cattle farms around or maybe hunter using feeders? Has a good rack!

this was from my cousins e-mail: He's from MN.
This was in the Sunday's edition of the Winona Daily.
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.

Very strange indeed. Seems to me a read an article about deer with that condition, but I can't recall what magazineit was.
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.

RE: Picture of Strange Deer.
Im from KY and there soybeans everywhere where im from and i think soybeans has around 30+ percent of protein and have yet to see one like that, good thing too cause id probably go ahead and put it out of its misery, poor deer, he was probably misfit,
