Tripod is still gracing us with her presence. Looks like she's been working out on that sole hind leg.

Pretty amazing. No Dr.'s or antibiotics to help. I once skinned a dear with an antler that was turned under the jaw. Upon examination it had about a 2" triangle of bone sitting over the skull and strong tissue was growing to hold it in place. Can you imagie the headace that it would give one of us?

That's cool. I am in SW Ok and have deer in my yard all the time. I put corn and a water trough out cause we are short on water around here.
Have a ton of does and their little ones all over my property. They don't even mind the little ankle bitters barking at them. Every once in a while I see a buck. I hunt but I don't bother these ones in my yard, they are fun to just watch. Had to go out to my barn last night and close it up and there was a deer came by the door and snorted at me. |

Neat. Yesterday I took a pail of ashes out to toss and went to the hillside to toss it. Afterward, I looked up and about two-hundred and fifty yards away three does stood motionless looking at me.

Good timing. I just snapped this while out having a smoke. I've seen it before, and it's been limping around bad for months now at least. I know we have coyotes in the area, so I'm surprised it's still alive.

Logic seems as if it had to be cut off somehow? Any medics want to chime in? How she survived the recovery process from predators without assistance is boggling as well. BUT she's a pretty girl, thank you for sharing! Tripod is such a prettier name then Stumpy

Its more common than you guys think.
Deer get ran over by farming equipment as fawns because they will lay still until the last second or get their legs hung in fences. We have cut 2 deer out of our fences, one we never saw again, the other was around for a couple years before she disappeared. And when I say cut them out, we took a hack saw to their leg and sawed it off. Both times the deer had been there for a while and the leg was already trashed. |

I'm wondering if she was born that way. I'm sure it could have been an injury but the bleeding or infection would have taken down most.
I'm impressed.  |

We have a doe around here with a broken fore leg. Last ten inches hangs straight down. She tripods around. This is the fourth year I have seen her with a fawn in tow during the early fall. J

one of the larger deer yards in the area is 300 yards from my house. It is a nearly impenetrable spot.
They do come up onto a little hillock about 50 feet from my door and hide out from hunters there too... pull into the drive at dusk and all I see are eyes up there

I've seen some solitary legs hanging in fences. It appears they goober the jump and stick their leg between two strands of barbed wire. As they descend, the wire twists together and they're caught. |
