Very strange pic!

[waligators]

Now this is weird! It was shot in North Dakota, or so the article says. Crazy!

[Wanderer]

If I had never seen a two headed calf in ND, I doubt I'd believe this is true. The funky hooves support it though.

I don't know if I'd shoot that thing...

[Born2Fish]

Yikes! I am not sure if I would shoot or run for my life! That is one crazy looking deer.....The zombies are coming!

That's a parasitic twin. It happens when one fetus fails to develop all the way and the other engulfs it in the womb. It's not common but it's not a rarity either (reltively speaking). Normally the parasitic twin is in the abdomen of the host twin. But, other times, like this, they can grow extra legs, arms (in humans) and even hair and teeth in other odd places. Great picture though. Thanks for sharing.

My first, okay second raction was Hmmm, how many tags will that deer take?

Haha I thought that too! But then I thought where is the tag?? In ND your suppose to place the tag on the base of one of the main beams right where they come out of the head! Anyway, great back scratchers!!

Must be all that oil in the ground

[Boar]

Which tag do ya use, antlerless or buck.

I only see 3 on a side, so nope, I wouldn't shoot it

[hockeybc69]

I need more than one pic to even begin to accept it as real..........

The skeptic in me prevails.

[WIMN]

It looks authentic. If you think about anatomy, that's where legs grow. Probably had 2 sets and the ones on top never grew because they wer enever used, and probably didn't develop correctly either.

Ya know, you're right. Maybe with another couple inches of spread it would make the minimum in a "tweaked" zone.

[harvey lee]

Guts still in it and not site tagged. May have forgot to tag it when he got close to it.

[tunrevir]

Sure would be nice if all the quarters were viable. I could handle 6 quarters of meat versus 4. Kind of reminds me of the Madden Turkeys they used to have, with 8 turkey legs on thanksgiving day

Man that looks just plain freeky! Not sure what i would do if I saw that thing walking around...

[eyeguy 54]

can't find an article but found a bigger pic. Jacoby Seeds is in Melvin Texas, so maybe a Texas deer? Maybe a road kill? who knows, it'd be nice to see the article. till then we can male up lottsa stories :>)

[muskiemanAD]

If I walked up on that after I shot it I may just keep on walking.....Wow..

[CANOPY SAM]

No kidding. That's just gross! At a minimum he could have at least kept his nails clean and trimmed! Reminds me of Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife. Eeeewwww....

[CANOPY SAM]

So does this mean the back straps are actually more like hind quarters?

[eyeguy 54]

more meat with 4 hind quarters :>)

[pikerliker]

Side effects from the deer abusing steroids...

A quick search of Jacoby Feed (seen in the picture) comes up with results for Melvin, TX. Saw this same picture on another site and someone claimed to have found a story that linked this buck to a game farm in TX.
