Hybrid?

Recommended Posts

This little buck looks odd. His momma is clearly a whitetail. I'm not so sure about him.

Really can't tell from that photo as the metatarsal gland on the near hind leg is pretty much cut off by the bottom of the frame. Otherwise, it looks like a whitetail to me. Why do you think that it might be a hybrid?

Here is another look.

To me the tail looks intermediate and the metatarsal looks a little big. Just an odd looking deer all around.

Those are much better pictures. If you compare the shape and size of the metatarsal gland in the last picture with the photos in Jim Heffelfinger's book, it sure looks like it may be a hybrid. Neat photos!
