Received this yesterday from my aunt who lives in Lewiston. She said a relative took the picture near Lindsey Creek Road. Im not sure if its a three legged deer or if the way its standing the 4th leg is hidden. Maybe some of you Lewiston/Clarkston boys know more about this deer. Cool deer either way.

an injury or missing leg could help explain the rack... neat!

You should see him when he's full grown. A buddy is a police officer in Lewiston and sees him quite a bit and gets pictures. He'll likely get poached one of these nights, because he never leaves town.

Is it a three legged buck as it appears in the photo? Have any fully grown photos you would like to share?

What a warrior man

She might.

Looks like a doe in the build and face to me. Or maybe a nutlesss tinkerbell he/she.

If it has a fourth leg it is PERFECTLY hidden behind the other. Thats why I was wondering if any locals had any more info about the deer.

What an awesome looking deer, 3 legs or not.

Usually that "cactus" configuration has something to do with some missing equipment...

I don't know why you doubt he has three legs? Out by my parents house they had a doe with a broken legs pointing straight out her back end. And they saw her three consecutive years and this deer was in the not in town. She also had fawns!

The one I know if there in that area was a 4 legged deer 2 years ago. It was hit by a car that winter, and last year the front leg was just messed up; he limped pretty bad. Maybe he finally found a way to get it torn off or it just died and fell off. The buck always has had a mass of tangled horns. The injury probably compounded the atypical growth, though.

I think that settles that debate

I'd take him for his uniqueness.

Sumpnneedskillin · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2012, 02:26:28 PM »

I'm staring at the pictures trying to figure out what intersection that is. Might have to spend a little time driving around some neighborhoods the next time I go for groceries. Wife might question why we keep driving around in circles though.

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:55:50 PM »

Yup, got all his legs. I'll still bet he's missing some "equipment" though...

Definitely a three legged deer, theres no shadow for the missing leg. But a shadow for all the rest.
Nice looking deer.

How do you explain the second picture he posted, where you can clearly see all four legs?

This comes from a testosterone deficiency. Most likely testicular damage. They never get hard and just keep growing. That is why B&C, P&Y or SCI will not except them in the record books. But they are pretty cool.

That's some serious head gear he's wearing!! The first photo he must have his leg up. I know that look any where, I've been busted many many times and the back leg is up like he wants to take a big step to get out of there or he's going to snort at me! LOL
