Sick Buck Picture?

I got the picture below on my Stealth Camera this weekend and the small buck in the picture seems to have some serious discoloration, anyone seen something like this before? Is he sick? Is this something to worry about spreading to the rest of the deer?

Im just guessing its a really really lucky old deer. But its possible it could have a skin disease of some sort. Perhaps chicken pocks?

I would have to see a better picture of him, but he just looks old. From the picture he looks to have a big pot belly that would tell me he is an older dude with a skin problem.

I appreciate the feedback...I feel it is my obligation to cull the herd of the old geezer and take him out of his misery. Thanks again and I'll keep you all posted once the season opens up.

maybe scabies, or some other disease.

heck it could even be from extreme heat on this deer.

I think I am going to break ranks (as usual) and say that this deer may simply be beginning the transition from the summer coat to the winter coat. While he may be a couple of weeks early, we should start seeing more of this in the coming weeks and months.

My guess also...
Some of the spotting can be a bad, bad tick problem?? Maybe a few battle wounds from many years of rutt??

I shot a 6 pointer a few years back with an overabundance of ticks and his thick winter coat barely covered some of the blotchy spots.
