Was watching a live deer cam last night (http://www.rd-hc.com/rdhc_deer_cam.htm) and saw this doe. Can you tell what's wrong with her?

yea i don't think her leg is suppose to bend that way, I watched her for a good 5 minutes and that leg never moved or touched the ground.

Her rear left leg looks a little mangled.
Ihave seen a wounded buck on that cam one time. Looked like he had been hit high and back, just in front of the hing leg. Looked like a big bulge coming out of him.

Unfortunately I see deer like that all the time. A week ago I put down a doe with the left rear leg hanging by skin only below the hock. That makes six years in a row I have put down a three legged deer in the late muzzy season, it makes me sick.

Last year I saw a young buck during the rut whoes knee bent the wrong way. He limped a bit but it really didnt seem to bother him. He was fat and was actually chassing some does, but when ever he put his leg on the ground his knee would bend backwards. Its amazing how much these animals can take.
