Trailcam caught this deer earlier this month. A closeup of her face looked fine but her body looks a little mangey. What do y'all think?  |

Could she have gotten hit by a car and that's road rash? That's just a wild guess as I've never seen anything like that.

Not uncommon during the summer months. Deer shed hair when it's hot and can rub quite a bit off on their daily travels. Maybe rubbing against fence, tree limbs, briars....
I had a buck on camera a couple years ago in July that I didn't think would live through August. I had him on camera again in December and he looked fantastic.

I wondered if she might just be ahead of the other deer, who don't seem to be shedding yet. Her face did not seem to betray any ill health.  |

Almost looks self inflicted...Pawing with its rear hoove by the front shoulder. Looks like it's a gnawing at its hind quarter by the looks of the two oval patches... Coukd it be from a bad case of the ticks?
Great crisp pictures... What series is the trail camera?

Coukd it be from a bad case of the ticks? Great crisp pictures... What series is the trail camera? A Bushnell Trophy Cam HD mod # 119736c. Yes, I thought it took pretty good pics. The body shot is actually a little less clear because I cropped it. It retails for around $100. Got it this year. |

Molting aka: losing summer coat and growing winter coat. Shedding another term for.

His knees and lower chest were nothing but hairless scar tissue! found a deer pic so grotesque i couldn't believe it and thought was motion blur. The video of it isn't blurry and confirmed my worst fears that it had survived MVA. |

First guess is the deer is shedding. Second guess is it has the mange.
