Big Foot Shot in Winona - Where ever that is?

Looks like "founder" to me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

The more mature deer behind my place have hooves that are just a little long and the sides fold under as they live their lives on blow sand. Makes a unique track.

Definitely looks like founder, never heard of it in deer, but it makes sense. I wonder how big of a corn crib it was kept in ;-)

You think somebody had that thing put up? If so wonder they didn't let it grow a little more?

Winona is in MN, right across the river from Buffalo Cnty WI. I have seen that on a video of a deer, think it might have been home footage put on a Shockey video about 8 years ago. Jim was narrating, and said it was some hormonal abnormallity that made the hoves grow very rapidly.

i guess instead of the boone and crockett club, that one could be measured for the foot and stompit club!

Here's some more info.

Sunday's edition of the Winona Daily. > >This buck was a truck kill near Alma. DNR said that high >protein,specifically corn was the cause of the abnormal feet. The deer >is currently sitting in the alma bait shop freezer.

Corn is 13 percent protein, soybean almost 3x higher in protein don't think corn is the answer...
