OSCEOLA — What has seven legs, male and female reproductive organs and nub antlers?
It sounds like a bad joke, but it's what Rick Lisko found in his driveway late last month.
Lisko hit the seven-legged nub buck while driving his truck through the woods down his mile-long driveway near Mud Lake in the town of Osceola in eastern Fond du Lac County on Nov. 22.
"It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity."
Lisko had slowed down as a buck and two does ran across the driveway.
"All of a sudden we felt the truck stop," he said.
The small buck had run underneath his truck, Lisko said. When he got out to look at the deer he noticed three- to four-inch appendages growing from the rear legs and later found a smaller appendage growing from one of the front legs.
"It's a pretty weird deer. It kind of gives you the creeps when you look at it," said Lisko, who described the extra legs as looking like "crab pinchers."
Hey! No insults, pal. The demon mutant buck had some control problems, apparently. But it is only a matter of time until they get it right. On the bright side, Lisko also says that seven-legged deer are delicious. He ate it. (Pictures are here).
