Strange Hooves and Rack!!!

Recommended Posts

I really thought I already posted this but couldn't find it, Amanda so if it's here somewhere please delete! Chris Conway's daughter took this buck last year. It had a strange rack, plus it's hooves on the right side were deformed. What's your thoughts?

I killed a deer like that once but all hooves looked like that. It was in sand hills so the hooves never met rock to be filed down. My guess is if that was the only hoof like that there was an injury where weight was not put on that leg.

could have been favoring that leg for some time - learned to live with it

 

earlier accident / injury could cause wierd rack and deformaties

 

 

sometimes soft or wet conditions can cause elongated hoofs in animals over a long period of time in those habitats

 

as normal wear and tear of hard / rocky surfaces usually wear them down
