Something is wrong with her back leg.

Looks like she was hamstrung at some point and managed to escape! That's one resilient deer.  Neat to see she made it and is reproducing!

You would lose a few lbs of meat there from the atrophy. Her coat doesn't look to healthy either. The pups look pretty solid

She looks like hell.  You can se her ribs and her hip bones.  I will be suprised if she makes the winter.

Is that some kind of hair-slip?  Aren't we supposed to be looking out for that?
