You can see the dew claw on his right front hoof in this picture.

BleuBijou, I love that bull! Crimson Arrow, no, hoof rot is a bacterial infection, and doesn't cause an animals hooves to grow, though animals with over grown hooves are more likely to acquire hoof rot, especially if living in a wet area, where other animals with hoof rot have been

my guess is the elk spent a lot of time in the sand dunes

I seen that once!!! Off an elk in NM. Strangest ever, the ones I'd seen were not that long but still longer than normal.

Not sure if it's the same but just saw this so I thought I would add it the this thread.

That is hoof rot. SW Washington has been having a big problem with it the last few years. I dont think it is the cause of the long dew claws because the feet look healthy and normal other then the long dew claws.
