Does this Doe look injured?

It looks to me like her right shoulder is cut open.We have been noticing alot of coyotes in the area now and was wondering if they were trying to get her.You may have to zoom image to see it.I also posted this in the bowhunting section.

I don't see an injury. I do see a couple areas of her summer coat coming thru. Maybe thats what you are seeing too. Oh, and she looks knocked up.

Heres a zoomed image.I thought it was hair but it almost looks like a chunk is missing.

Looks like it is healed over nice, kind of looks as if she had a mouth full of hair pulled out.

Doesn't look injured but she is definitely pregnant!

Thanks for the input guys.I think her hair may be coming out also but the enlarged picture had me second guessing myself.Im gonna check my cameras this weekend to see if she is on there again.

Here is what I mean with the summer coat coming thru. At a different view I could mistake it for missing hair etc.

It looks to me as though something ripped some hair out of it. I doubt it was a coyote though as they normally attack the hinds or the throat.
I am gessing it may have benn caught up in some barbed wire fencing or perhaps a bobcat tried it's luck at taking her down.

Thanks for the picture janesburg.I never seen them shed like that before.Looking at that picture I would have guessed she got stuck under a truck.
