One front knee and both real are swollen. The front is the size of a softball and back are long swollen, don't know if that makes sense. They have been like this all season. Can't post pics for some reason, can I text to someone?

I had two bucks late last year in 2015 show up during December with hoof rot was why I asked that. This was in Western Goliad County.
I have seen bucks with swollen front knew joints that came from injuries due to fighting in the rut but not with back legs swollen also. This buck was limping very badly on both his front legs when I took these pics. He did recover though and was much bigger the next year. I guessed he had gotten injured in a fight.Last edited by texashunter56; 01-10-2018, 09:02 PM.Comment

He was still in good body shape in those pics, just limping a bit. I decided to let him go and see what would happen. He did not do to bad that next year. Scored 202 when he was killed.Originally posted by HUNTNETIME View PostLast edited by texashunter56; 01-10-2018, 09:02 PM.Comment

I have a buck with similar conditions. Both front knees look to be about the size of tennis balls and angle in toward each other. His entire body seems to be deformed also, just doesn't look "right". I just assumed that he's old and arthritic.
FYI, he has never been legal (AR County), anywhere from a narrow 4-6 point for the last 3 years.Comment
