Wisconsin Man Runs Over, Eats Seven-Legged Transgendered Deer



Thursday , December 14, 2006

FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow, but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway.

The young buck had 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 the driveway Nov. 22, but the buck ran under the truck and got hit.

When he looked at the animal, he noticed three- to four-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, but he thought he saw the appendages moving, as if they were functional, before the deer was hit.

Warden 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. "It wasn't anything grotesque or ugly or anything. It was just unusual that it would have those little appendages growing out like that."

Bilgo took photos and sent information on the animal to DNR wildlife managers.

John Hoffman of Eden Meat Market skinned the deer for Lisko, who wasn't going to waste the venison from the animal.

"And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty."


This will go well with my sasquatch burgers and my white buffalo steak.

Ok, that's pretty good. But I think this still wins:

Life is hard for all transgendered creatures I guess. I would not eat a freaky deer.

Yeah, that's pretty weird, but not as weird as another recent deer story. I am having some trouble finding any mention of it on the local paper's website, but here is a (worksafe) link: Sex with dead deer not illegal, lawyer argues (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/17/dead_deer_case/)

Ah, yes, this was a topic on Penn Jillette's show. I'd have to agree: there's nothing pleasant about the idea of having sex with a dead deer, but I don't think that there's anything illegal about it either.

ew said the ewe, at least it wasn't me.

I would think it would become illegal if someone saw you do it. Just the idea has me running for the mental floss.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to watch it, but if someone was doing it in the privacy of their shack, I think they should be allowed. I don't want to visit their house for venison, though.

The only thing I have to add is: "Whaa~aaat?!"

Naughty, naughty Fox News!

That thar's an intersex deer, not a transgendered one.
