What's yall's thoughts on this? I guess i'll just try and monitor if she stays healthy and if not, put her out of misery.

Deer are very resilient, I’m confident she’ll continue eating to maintain her health. Her only downside is running to escape a pack of wild dogs or coyotes.

Are you in an area where people use leg-hold traps? Going by the pic, the deer looks none the worse for the wear and is carrying good weight.
Sounds like you've got the plan.

As far as leg hold traps, I don't think so at least not in the immediate area.
I have her on video as well and I'm thinking she might run better than she walks while feeding :]

Deer are tough critters. When I was a kid my uncle’s buddy shot a leg off of a doe. Ole Three leg lived 6 or so more years and had many healthy fawns.

We had a buck like that. We killed him at five years old. He was underweight for his age.

Swamp doe? Gator?
I about saw a fawn missing everything yesterday. I55 S of Jackson doing 80mph and this fawn almost ran out in front of me at noon

I think she'll be fine. I have a feeder in my back yard and for the lats 4 years, one of the does that frequents it is missing a leg right below the hock joint. She seems to do fine.

I trapped for years when I was young and I have never seen a deer get caught in a leg-hold trap….i honestly don’t think they can, because their foot is the same size as their leg.

We have railroad tracks going through our property, I have seen deer survive having their entire hind quarter taken off. Bucks will often show the injury on their opposite side.

Wound looks healed, and there is still a lot of leg left. Deer looks pretty healthy. I think she'll be fine.

I've had two three legged dogs. One of them you wouldn't believe how fast she could run. She could keep up with the four wheeler. Deer will probably be fine.
