Injured deer question/opinion - 10/13/21 10:54 PM
We have a this year's fawn that has injured their front left leg below the knee. Looks like to me its been broken/dislocated at some point. I cant tell if this is a new injury(week or two old) or its been that way awhile. We haven't been up in 3/4 weeks but saw her over the weekend and every night since. She seems to keep up with her mom and gets around without putting much weight on the leg. She comes to the feeder and eat and grazes not showing any sign of severe pain. I know deer can over come a lot but sure don't want the deer in agony. I have plenty of mld tags so could use one on the deer but if the deer can survive and isnt in constant pain Id let it go and see what happens. When she runs she doesn't stay up with mom but she doesn't fall down either just runs 3 legged. I dont have any pics unfortunately. So any thoughts appreciated on the situation.
