I've seen two bucks with it this year due to the crazy wet conditions this winter. Both not putting any weight on the infected hoof. Anyone else?

Nope.

Buddy of mine had a buck in Dime Box with a club foot. Don't know how long the deer had it or how he got it, but he found the buck dead and shredded by coyotes two days ago. It was in a flooded area that has been wet all year. I don't think "foot rot" is really a thing tho or else Louisiana wouldn't have deer.

It is caused by the fuso bacteria. It causes foot rot in cattle. In deer it usually presents in the mouth or jaw. Penicillin will knock it out but you have to give it everyday for 5 days. Fusoguard is a vaccine that will prevent it.

Foot rot absolutely is "a thing".

Yeah, it is a thing. And often hits herds experiencing different stress already.

"Outbreaks typically occur in wet conditions and especially where animals congregate in high densities, such as around feeders. Outbreaks are often observed in late fall to early winter when animals congregate around limited food sources. Bacteria build up in damp soil at these sites and infect deer through cuts or abrasions in the feet. Softened hooves caused by sustained wet weather may also contribute to increased infection rates."

Shocked we haven't seen it, but then again - we've had enough water that the bacteria is probably flushed out occasionally whenever it rains and floods again.

Nope, haven't seen any of it this year.
