Bad knee

[bigtedd]

Got a bunch of vids and pics of this deer. Looks like a bad knee

What do you guys think? Is it from an injury? Maybe just born that way?

Could have been a number of things. I would guess an injury of some type ....anything from being hit by a car to being hit by a bullet !

Even wild animals can break bones. It's not all Disney out there...

F@%king Disney!

Damn company has ruined my 5 yr old. I can remember when she was just about 3 yrs old and i had my first double-buck hunting season. She was losing her mind for days, excited to make the trip from Peterborough to Eganville to see my big buck hanging. The night she arrived, I ended up getting a 2nd buck.

As we're bringing the deer to the house in the tractor bucket, she comes running out of the house with my mother (who was worried about how the young girl would react to seeing a carcass for the first time) and starts shouting "Yum! Yum! Can we eat yet? Yum!"

Fast forward 2 years and 20 or 30 Disney movies... and she doesn't want to join me on a hunt, nor does she want to eat game meat - if we tell her what it is.

Ugh. F@%k Disney.

Years ago, the theatre in the town we deer hunt out of, played Bambi the night before opening day......it caused quite the backlash !!

Couldn't agree anymore about your feelings about Disney. If I have to hear the soundtrack from Frozen (sung by my four year old not on the stereo or anything) one more time, I am going to be going to a mental hospital.

I posted a pic of this deer in 2015. She has a bad knee. Maybe from an injury or maybe just deformed.


Fast forward almost 3 years later, she is still alive. Which I think is incredible given the hunting pressure and coyotes in the area.

Probably an injury-- fracture/dislocation--probably hit by a car.
Original pic shows no sign of penetrating injury.

Small point--anatomically this is equivalent to the wrist joint-- not knee. A vet might call it radio/carpal.
