Forget about Bigfoot. We have Bighoof. This is one of the craziest things I have seen in a while. Check out the hooves on this buck. It was hit by a truck in Wisconsin. The DNR said that high protein, specifically corn was the cause of the abnormal feet. Has anyone seen anything like this before?




















Yup My husband came across a moose while hiking and the moose had one hoof like that. He got pictures of it, what a crazy sight. The moose couldn’t walk that well.

I just saw a deer exactly like this (maybe is worse) in our development in PA. it was walking very gingerly, what a shame…………..
In horses, that’s called founder. I’m sure deer are naturally resistant to it, but this one may have started gorging itself on walnut bark or something, or gotten into a grain bin somewhere, or found an alfalfa field. It can grow to these proportions in horses as well if left untreated, and obviously wild deer don’t have farriers.
We have a deer in our neighborhood with hooves like that. Unfortunately a lot of people out here feed the deer corn and with the drought it is only going to get worse.
We just killed a buck last night that looks just like this – they look like twins! We do feed with corn around here (Fredericksburg, Texas) …
