What do you think happened to his arm? He’s a big mofo

[1Zero’DinGrifo]

His left leg is ripped from my guess carrying all his weight . His right looks like it has no muscle/broken. I think it might be a birth defect or he got bit by a snake and it rotted . I’m new to the hunting world . This is my property in Washington what do y’all think.?

It's a video so does he try and straighten it at all? It does look shorter, so perhaps it is a birth defect. Never saw that before.

No he hopes around . Does not extend it whatsoever but he is big. Like really big I think

Could have been injured by a leg hold trap from which he escaped.

That’s also what I thought . But it does seem shorter and really no muscle

Hard to tell from the pics but does it appear shorter than his other front leg?

Sometimes they lose a part of the foot when they escape.

just speculating.

it’s amazing how resilient they are

or could have been shot off

Had one in my backyard for years that had 3 legs, stub tail, one eye and scars all over his head. Named him "Lucky". Haven't seen him this year. That was a tough old dude.
