Three Legged Doe

Postby Big Sarge » Sat Dec 08, 2012 7:10 pm

I have a healthy 3 legged doe that is popping up regularly on my game cameras. She is regularly feeding in my turnip and mustard greens plot. Do you think I should cull her? She looks in great shape. I just wondered if most 3 legged deer were due to injury or genetics.

I watched a three legged 8 pt mount a doe a few years back, ended up shooting him later in the year, his leg had been blown off the previous year I guess, but skin had grown back perfectly over the stub. He was getting along just fine....was.
