RE: Wounded starving deer...
Well, limpy leg is still stumbling around. It's hard to believe. He is bedding about 100 to 150 feet from our house. Sometimes there are other deer with him. All the deer have stripped this downed pine tree bare - needles, twigs and bark. They all still look pretty healthy and one doe has a big belly - must be pregnant. I have been watching the deer eat out of the bucket of cracked corn. It seems they take a munch or two and then move on. I haven't seen limpy leg even go near the bucket. He seems to prefer the pine twigs and bark. He also comes down to the mineral lick now and then. Taking your advice I'm not going to put any more corn out and I'm hoping that the snow melts soon. If limpy leg gets to the point where he is skin and bones then we'll see what happens....
