4 - 1 = Doe
Pretty crazy what these animals can survive through.

Yeah they are very strong animals and to thing that deeris just a fawn.

I don't eat the legs anyways.
Course joke, maybe but this is not sad to me. If the animal is of no use, that would be sad. Still a lot of life in that doe. Most likely still out run anyone here. Out ran any hunters there.

Tough animals is right! It is sad though!
A small story about the toughness of a whitetail...
I have a friend that shot a ten pointer with buckshot a few years back. (The gun was loaded with buckshot by mistake, he meant to have a slug in his gun) - (stupid)!
Anyways... He jumped it twice that day and noticed he hit it in the hind leg. (He stills kicks himself in the ass every time he tells the story.)
A few weeks later he talked to a guy that also hit this same buck through the opposite front shoulder and it got away.
Well, the story ends with my buddy getting the buck a week later with both quarters dinged up and when he dressed the buck he had found a broad head stuck in his brisket bone.
Robo-buck!

I have a hunting buddy that shot a decent buck 4 or 5 years back, that had been shot in the front leg and it healed almost completely backwards.
In other words, the buck had 3 hooves facing in the proper direction. He said, as one can imagine, it limped, but was fully healed over.
