    Officially the first deer to be pegged as a "cull" deer for the upcoming season. I have about 30 pictures of her but they were all a profile view and I thought she was just walking hunched up until now. But it's clear to see she was hit by a vehicle or something of that nature. I have pictures of her going back to early December, this shows just how tough deer can be!

    if her legs are that bad I wouldn't be suprised if she doesnt make it another month. especially if you have yotes in your area

    Looks like the pelvis is misaligned from the photo, Both back legs are at similar angles off to her right. I am guessing birthing would cause her death. Culling would probably be best but she does look pretty healthy otherwise.

    I agree it looks like she was tagged in the rear quarter by a vehicle and is now unaligned. I would be interested in seeing that deer in a video to see her gait quality. Very interesting.

    I have videos of her but they're only 5 second clips. She rarely moves in them but when she does it's really slowly.

    If she's made it this long, she's probably ok and doesn't really NEED to be culled.
