One tough deer

Might have to zoom in a little but take a look at the front leg.

Amazing animals. A couple years ago I had a video of a bear with three legs and this year had a video of a coyote with three legs. You wouldn't think they'd last long with only three.

I took a kid out muzzleloader hunting one year. Turkey season was in and we had a jake come out at about 40 yards. He wanted to shoot it and I told him he could. He ended up blowing off one of the legs. The bird ran about 30 yards and laid down. I figured it was dead so we headed out of the box blind to retrieve it. As we got closer I realized it was still alive. The boy had not reloaded his muzzleloader. The bird took off hopping on one leg and I went running after it. It could not get up enough speed to take flight on one leg, but it easily out ran me! We never did find that bird. I'm sure it died, but you guys are right, animals are amazing!

Speaking of turkey stories,I had some guest come and turkey hunt a few years back and couldn't sit with the father that afternoon due to a funeral.I snuck in after the funeral to the popup and he said he had seen a tom but it had something shiny hanging from its beak and all the other turkeys were chasing him.Had no idea what it was until my neighbor shot it a couple days later and it had a buzz bait stuck through it's beak.No idea how or why.

Now that's a fishy story...pun intended.
