Hunter eats deer despite its deformities
FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but found his most unusual one driving his truck.
One day last month, Lisko found a young buck with nub antlers — and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs.
"It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity."
He said he slowed down as the buck and two does ran across his driveway Nov. 22, but the buck ran under the truck and was hit.
When he looked at the animal, he noticed 3- to 4-inch appendages growing from the rear legs. Later, he found a smaller appendage growing from one of the front legs.
"It's a pretty weird deer," he said, describing the extra legs as resembling "crab pinchers."
"It kind of gives you the creeps when you look at it," he said.
Doug Bilgo of the state Department of Natural Resources came to Lisko's property near Mud Lake in the town of Osceola to tag the deer.
"I have never seen anything like that in all the years that I've been working as a game warden and being a hunter myself," Bilgo said.
No matter how freaky, the deer was skinned and consumed.
"And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty." |

| If this guy starts glowing in the dark we'll know what contamination caused the buck to be deformed! |

| I was reading that the grease they pack transformmers in is highly mutagenic. That would be a possibilty. The deer's mother would have to be exposed to the grease. |

| Maybe it was conjoined, partially reabsorbed twins? |

Maybe the deer had his brother inside of him like that guy in India.
I wouldn't have eaten it..I agree with Badger, give it to Cromag...it would have been a real treat to see at the next MUFON meeting. |

That reminds me. We should probably do another MUFON Show and Tell in the near future. If Marlee would go for it. Perhaps with some ground rules this time, or a moderator. Darnit, I was so looking forward to the one last year, but had to miss it.  |
