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

I doubt he's only got 3 legs...

She might. ;) Looks like a doe in the build and face to me. Or maybe a nutlesss tinkerbell he/she. :twocents:

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.

:yeah: 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.

received another

I think that settles that debate :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: I'd take him for his uniqueness. :tup:

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.
-
Yup, got all his legs. I'll still bet he's missing some "equipment" though... :dunno:
-
thats a monster buck
-
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?

last time i was up at peters taxidermy he had a cactus buck in there that was from the desert unit in wa. it was being refinished the velvet stayed on all year for some reason it never went hard horned (shot in November i think he said) cool buck though

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
