We got tons of early season footage of this doe and some trail cam pics. I just found this pic today and almost deleted it before I noticed it was the three legged deer.

The three legged doe made it through the new year

Stevo it's pretty cool how they can get by but if a group of predeator corners them they don't stand a chance. Look at the stance on your deer. The three legs look like a tripod.

I would harvest that animal, first time I saw her.
That reminds me of a doe I shot years ago that had only three feet.
My Dad made a big thing about it with all the members of our club at the time.
They gave me the highly prized "Three Footed Deer Award",
boy was I proud that season.
Sure which I had it to show you guys...[rofl][rofl]

i just shot a small doe on friday afternoon, she came in with a larger doe and a button buck and she was getting chased by a nice 1 horned buck, i took her at 35 yards with the xbow and after i recovered her i noticed she had been shot before, looks like someone took a shot with a muzzy on her and it went in her shoulder and through her arm pit area and out under her chest, must have been a near straight down shot. she looked fine and wasnt even limping when she came in, truely amazing how tough these critters are [up]

Way to go Tom I was pleased when I got your text last night. I knew you would get one based on the images from when I last pulled the memory card. They were coming in groups of 2 to 10 starting at 2:30 all the way up to dark. It's really been a pleasure hunting with you this season and as long as I still have the property you are invited to hunt again next year
