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?

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.

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.
