Yeah, we figured it was a trap. It was all healed up and there was hair growing out of the stump. The muscles in that shoulder had atrophied alot but I had no idea until I got to him that it was a three-legged critter. Hard to believe how well he could get around in really steep ground missing half a leg compared to how well I could with all of my appendages. Sure was a shocker when we drug him out of the hole he ended up in and flipped him over
