I have a close to 100 pictures of this small 9 pointer in my yard in the past 3 months, and when I checked the camera this week I was sick. It looks like he has a bad break on his lower leg but he is still getting around pretty good. I have several pictures of him before the heavy rain last week and he was fine.
I started wondering why so many deer in the area I hunt has healed broken legs and many odd racks with one side good and the other side different. Ithink I figured it out.......when the river is low in the area I hunt, the deer can walk under a bridge along the banks with no problem. When the river is high, there is no banks present and they have to walk through 200 feet of sharp rocks, where there feet are going through the rocks and not hitting the ground.
It looks like this winter, I will be making a trail for them in the rocks with dirt, and I will see if this works out for them.
