What is wrong with this deers skin? Help?
2 Attachment(s)
I pulled some cards this weekend and I got this weird looking buck on cam. He has a normal colored body however his face is mostly black. I dont think it is mange and he is not a piebald. I am trying to figure out what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated from you guys.

I think it could be blood, or maybe an infection.

i donno, would be better if you had a pic of him in daylight.... never know could be mud or something...but buckchaser said, infection! good luck in this season!!

It looks to me like that is just his fall coat coming in. Yes, it seems a little bit early, but I wouldn't worry about this deer. I have seen this before. As they lose their summer coats, they will get that dark brown color as opposed to their orange summer color.

thanks for your help guys. I was wondering about an all black deer however they seem to be all black and not patches. I have the pictures out to a few wildlife doctors to see.

Hey Ted, interesting deer, let us know if you find out something about him, good luck this season...hey we need you back in Winnipeg!!!

It looks like blood,tough to tell

I dont think its blood, too much of it I think. I am thinking more towards mange or something other skin parasite.
