Sounds like he'll make it to me. About 20 years ago I hunted a bean field and there was a 3 legged doe feeding there. I had the same quandry, but I watched a while and she seemed to get along fine. She would feed on her front knee. When she had eaten every thing in reach, she would bounce and turn on her hind feet and eat all she could reach there. i watched her on several hunts in that bean field. I was really glad to see her each night. A live decoy!
