7.5 year old we call Broke Leg

[Hall77]

Been watching him for five years assuming he was hit by a car in 2019. These animals are beyond tuff the bone is sticking out.

Pretty cool to see his change in antlers!

Great history. And a good depiction of antler growth. May not have been able to follow so well without the leg.

Have you ever seen him while hunting? Is he on your hit list this season

 

[Hall77]

Yes he is a loner I’ve seen him 5 times hunting over the years. My son had an opportunity last year in the rut but it was to far and to early in the morning not enough light. And yes he has been on the hit list for 3 years we just haven’t hooked up with him.

Tough SOB, good luck getting him this year

That's crazy. Can he put weight on that broken leg? It appears to have healed somehow, but I don't understand how that is possible with a bone sticking out. Tough critters they are.

Yes he can put some weight on that leg.

I wish I could always identify a buck from year to year, my friends seem confident in identifying bucks but I am never as confident. I wish I could mark them somehow at 1.5, I also wish I could fly. I did have a 3 legged doe that I only got pics of in probably a 50 acre area and she lived there for at least 4 years after her injury and raised a fawn yearly. I also a few years ago was getting pics of a spike with a terrible injury and infection in his front leg, nasty greenish puss, this deer could barely get around it would appear, then while setting on my deck I watched him jump into my pasture over a barbwire fence to check a scrape and then turn and jump it again to go back into the woods. It seemed the drive to reproduce was more important than the drive to live, my neighbor shot him to put him out of his misery and said he could smell the infection before pulling the trigger.
