Default Is she Sick??

This is one of the deer that is from my first week of trail cam pictures. None of the other deer look this skinny and bony at all. Do you think shes sick. She dont look healthy at all!!

Body posture in the 1st pic looked like she's stretching. Otherwise she looks ok to me.

I'd say she was stretching too, but definitely none too fat though. She could be a little anorexic.

I know shes stretching but i have about 20 pictures of her and compared to the other deer on my camera, she just looks like a pile of bones.

Does look alittle bit on the lean side. Could be from stress of first time fawning. I agree with the stretching photo. Over all, she appears healthy though.

i would say very skinny. does the are have a good food source? if not, you might want to get a food plot in there to help her and the other deer out.

This site is on a cattle farm, so theres always plenty of forage and minerals sites are everywhere. That was my point, theres plenty of food, but as someone said and they might be right, it could be first time fawning stress. She does have a fawn.

She looks as if she might have had an injury at some point in time to me. That one leg doesn't appear very normal to me. So I am thinking it could have been hit so she doesn't use it very much.. I am no professor on these things though...
