Default RE: Deformed Buck Picture

This is the result of a broken nose during a fight, hit buy a car, ect., but most likely a fight with another buck. I used to raise dall sheep and they would do the same thing from fighting, once we turned the rams loose together with the ewes. Chances are, the nose will also have a bend one way or another the length of the muzzle. This effects the breathing thru the nose in sheep for a few days, but then, after the internal swelling goes down, they are fine. I suspect the same healing process in deer as well.
