Got some pictures of this guy feeding under my white oak this week. Is it just me or does this deer look like it has extremely short legs? We had a doe like that in another piece of property that we called the dwarf doe. Appeared to be full grown but stood probably 6" shorter than the rest.

I've always heard that when deer get older their legs look shorter. My guess is you have a very old buck there

I bet that deer is 6+ years old.

Old or not, his friends front legs look odd. Looks like he's standing in deep mud.

Thats a telltell sign of an old mature deer. Probably 7-8 y/o.

Either way that's a good one .

I believe its not politically correct to use the term midget, they prefer the words, dwarf deer, little deer, or LD. Midget is a slang word and you probably offended this deer so bad he will need to have counseling for the traumatic experience.

bad camera angle or lens

Front right leg looks like it has been broken before. Definitely an old one there. 6-7

Looks to me like he has a really thick body from top of back to brisket which just makes his legs look shorter.

That is one odd pic, keep us posted.

He won't look that short on the wall!

I seen a few pics of one killed at a management area several years ago, he had a nice rack but he was a dwarf deer lol. I don't know how he didn't tip over while walking

This..And it looks like he's standing in a pile of leaves

Just an old fat pawpaw. Bet he don't get out of bed till the sun goes down

The Clorox stump stunted his leg growth.
