What is wrong with this deers skin? Help?
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.

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.
