Got a deer yesterday morning which had what looks like an overbite. Anyone seen this before?

Parrot Jaw. Common on piebald deer. Did this deer have alot of white? Bad genes.

Not really no. Bet he had a real hard time eating.

Parrot mouth. My buddy killed one just like this last year on the mountain. Ironically, the deer was incredibly fat considering it had a facial deformity. Yours wasnt as bad as the one my buddy killed. Good job cleaning the gene pool.

Thanks for the info. He was in pretty good health also. Did not look like it affected him to much in that regard. But animals can adapt to alot of things and this is all he knew.
