What a great story and the buck is just a “WOW”. Congratulations.

I don't have a problem with the tongue hanging out. Congrats he looks tasty.

Nice

The main thing is you said he had a limp, I took a 4 pt years ago that was limping. After we retrieved him I found out his whole left hind quarter was full of maggots. Not a good way to go so I felt good to not lot him endure a slow painful death.

Congrats! I didn't notice tounge either, great story and it was obvious ment to be.

Great buck and pictures! That’s a giant!!

Nice buck. Good job

Awesome

That is awesome congratulations buddy

Awesome buck...congratulations.

@Jonathan I sent a picture to Jim Heffelfinger, who is a wildlife biologist and deer “guru”, and he said that most likely the deer had broken his toe at some point and it didn’t heal properly, so the hoof continued to grow in the wrong direction. He said he couldn’t be 100% certain, but that was his gut feeling.

That's fantastic and congratulations! What a great story. Poor fella had a jacked up hoof for sure

You did a great job on the photos. No disrespect I see. Great story and great job. Yes things like this do happen to people like us. Great deer. God bless.

What a dandy and what an unforgettable story to boot! Enjoy your success with a lifetime story!
