Deer with a Broken Leg

There is a deer with his back leg broken I saw two weeks ago. It was sitting in my backyard but actually ran when I tried to walk over. I saw it again tonight eating. It is limping and the leg is still on but seems backwards. Will he survive or should animal control be called?
FROM WEBMASTER: I think you should call animal control. The poor thing is problably in pain and will have a tough life trying to find food, avoid cars and dogs, etc. I am sure that it can live that way, but will just have a lower quality of life. If you wanted to feed it and keep food out, it would probably stay with you if that is something you would want.
