Three legged deer?? You be the judge

I set my camera up during Turkey season. Got quite a few pics of deer moving through the shot. About 40 yards in front of the camera a flooded creek lies in front the deer usually travel back and forth along the edge. The camera is set watching one of their trails.

here's Gimpy

very well could be...not real sure because the pic is not real clear..but Im leaning towards 4 legs the more I look at it

Think the far leg is there. Kind of looks like an outline for it to me anyway.

Heck, I don't even see a stub, where a leg used to be

I agree with Nate, although I had a picture like this in the daytime last year. Turned out the deer did have four legs...I'll try to find the picture and post.

...You know..I don't have any experience looking at game cams...-BUT-

-I can't see the other foreleg..but- if it were a 3-legged deer...I wouldn't expect to see one of the back legs cocked at the same time...and her head wouldn't seem right to be carried that high, in that position...-
and I would think there would be more pronounced neck /shoulder muscle there, to have compensated....??

..I think the other leg just isn't showing, somehow...
