They do have antlers. Most of the wendigos' kills happened because they they posed as deers.

Nope, Antlers are a modern addition that has no backing in indigenous mythology. In mythology they are depicted as emaciated humans. There origins are literally tribes turning to cannibalism during long winters. Not pretending to be deers. There are deer people in native mythology but they aren't wendigo.
