What causes this???
« on: December 13, 2009, 09:22:34 PM »
I shot this mallard hen earlier in the week with a messed up foot.  A little different.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I shot a hen with a foot missing on saturday.  all she had left was a nub big enough to hold the band that she was wearing in place! :IBCOOL:

Just wondering if it was a nub when she was banded or if some big largemouth saw a shiny glimmer on an orange leg and grabbed her foot!
hey, where's Professor Chaos? Anyone seen him?

I have chickens that get that almost every year. It is from frostbite or there feet getting wet and they freeze and they fall off.
