I can think of at least 6 3-legged deer I've seen taken or taken myself (I took one, a buck with a shattered right front quarter, probably from a car hit. The hoof on this foot curled up and around) over the past 35 years of hunting. These were deer that were either totally missing the leg or it was badly mangled (usually a deer/car collision) and were healed up. A couple times the hunter didn't know the deer only had 3 legs until walking up to it because they had adjusted so well. This island looks to have oak trees on or near it. If it's dropped acorns a wounded deer would have food, water & safety... all without having to move much until it was healed enough to start traveling again.
