Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
Look at the condition of this doe. She looks like a South-Texas greyhound deer during a famine. I know she is most likely lactating and it's summer and her coat is thinner but the season is only 1.5 months away and I've never seen a doe look anything like this come October 1. What do you fellas think...is she sick?

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
It has pretty blue eyes. Thats what i call a boney deer. Looks sick to me
|
RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
I think she is o.k. I have some pictures of does at this time of year that are pretty boney. I will see them later in the season and they are plumper. She should be fine.:D

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
She's thin any way you look at it, but it's a question of how thin. Maybe the camera angle is making her look even worse than she really is. :eek::eek::eek:

No matter what, somewhere there is a buck that has a thing for light complected, blue eyed, skinny chicks.

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
Probably just the camera angle, heck there`s pictures of me and because of the angle it looks like I`m about 260lbs:D.

I have quite a few really close cam photos and the deer often look strange. At the angle I 've seen ribs like that very often on older does.
Good Luck! |
RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
She looks sick to me. Around here you shouldn't be able to count their ribs in the middle of summer and I wouldn't expect Kansas to be any different.

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
Like someone said, she could have had twins or ever triplets, she does look pretty thin. I don't think she is sick though, just a little under weight, Maybe she is battling with anarexcia,(sp) they have programs for that![:'(]

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
That doe looks fine to me, more then likely she is a young doe which was nursing young with a combination malnurishment what part of the country are you in?? Where I am used to hunting is in southern Missouri and the deer there have hardly nothing to feed on low agricultural area mainly grass an acorns or if they are lucky they get into a feed bin or eat farmer john's wifes flowers. If you in a area that matches my description asfar as stuff for them to eat, she'll fatten up come fall and all the Acorns fall of the trees. Or if you are able to put a feeder out or plant a food plot that helps the deer greatly in areas like that but before you plant a food plot be sure to test the soils acidity and buy the propper seed for your soil thats why somany people complain about their food plot not growing or only certain things grew.

We have a few that look like that by my place.:(
|
RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
We shoot some awfully thin does during crop damage. It's just nursing of multiple fawns I believe. They all seem to recover pretty quickly once we get into late August/Sept. Some of them the ribs really stick out and there's no width across them to speak of. NEVER see deer like that in hunting season.

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
She looks fine to me. Probably a young mother of twins or even tripletts. One thing for sure, she will fatten up here in another month.

RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
her coat looks a little funny around the shoulders and neck. she could be fine. i do not think that i would shoot her if she came walking by.
|
RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
She looks young! It's possible that she is this years offspring and she's lost her spots.
You'd better shoot her and have her taste tested.:D |
RE: Is This Doe Sick? Stealth Cam Pic...
You think she looks sick now?!? You should have seen her try to run from the camera flash!! She probably ran into a tree because she was blinded and in a panic attack!! I bet that was pretty funny!!
