Title: Three Leg Cow ? Another Picture added
Post by: DOsborn on August 16, 2010, 10:18:29 PM: I was looking though pictures that my cuddeback got and noticed that it appears that this cow only has three legs. Looks like the left hind leg is gone just above the knee.
I added another picture with out an elk standing where the stump ? is, I do not see a rock there or that she is straddling somthing. Maybe the leg is behind the other, I would not expect for her to look this healthy if she only had one leg in the back.

Maybe thats why he was having trouble running up the hill when I saw him out grouse hunting. It was a shock for me when I was reaching under him for the leg to drag him down the hill. There was no leg. Theres a reason why in Sept. theres always a rifle in the truck. They called Tri-pod killer after that.

Great Pic. It amazes me how animals can adapt and naturally heal.

I'd expect her to be leaning forward, putting more weight on her front legs.
Cool picture.

2. She will probably be a slower moving target
3. Where is that trail cam set up again?

Post by: Quackwhacker on August 17, 2010, 06:06:06 PM: Are there two calves in the pic? One right next to the cow and one out in front. Maybe she was lifting a leg for a feeding.
