Deer with severely broken front leg?

[Greenheadless]

What do you think her odds of survival would be? She has a hard time walking and swings the leg as counter balance.

Take her out before the yotes do

If she has a hard time walking I would shoot her unless you are not allowed to in the county you hunt. If that is the case, call the game warden and get permission to put her down.

[JMenendez]

X2 on calling Game Warden first.

I knew the right answer, just did not make the right decision. She walked across a 15yard gap and I lamented too long. I hava a large mature 140-150" 8pointer in the area I have been after and am trying not to make him move his home range. I will not make the same mistake twice as I did letting her pass. It is the moral thing to do, shame on me for not doing it the first time.

Probably should have shot her but if you don't see her again don't worry to much about it.
I had a doe many years ago who had a similar injury and I could not grt a shot.
Saw her the next year with twins jumping fences. Leg had rotted off and she was healthy.

Same here....only ours was a buck. He lived for another 3 years and put on a great set of horns his last year at 5.5. He jumped feed pen fences like they were nothing.

Had a young buck show up at my feeder 2 years ago--had a huge hole in his shoulder (1st Monday of gun season). He had a hard time getting through my 2-wire fence, but made it. I couldn't let him go so drove a Razorhead through his chest. He left the feeder pen like nothing was wrong with him, ran about 35 yds and tipped over. I tagged and processed him even though that shoulder was nasty and stayed in the woods. Three days later I was boning and trimming and realized the meat smelled bad--so it ended up at the buzzard buffet. No regrets about burning the tag--I'd do it again without a moment's hesitation. And no, that's not a Rage exit wound.

wow, never seen anything like that
