Wild deer face more adversity than we can possibly imagine in their quest to survive throughout the year. Disease, predators, harsh weather, and physical illness are just a few of the odds stacked against them. But have you ever seen anything like this? This buck was literally walking around on bare bone on his back legs.

The hunter that killed this deer has received his fair share of criticism from animal rights advocates, no doubt, but as ethical hunters, we know this hunter did the right thing in putting down an animal that was in such a pitiful situation.
Here’s a photo of the buck standing on his boney pegs.
Survival of the fittest is played out in nature every day. Sometimes what we see and experience is breathtaking, while other times it’s simply sad.
