Whats wrong with this doe?
I got a new piece of property and decided to toss out some cams on trails to see what passed through. Cam has only been out a week but decided to stop by and check it out since I was down in the area on a service call. Came across this doe with a lot of mangy looking spots on it. It appears to be older due to its entire white neck and full body so maybe its an age thing?

That's typical for a summer deer pelt. Their hair is very thin at this time of year, almost non existant around their head and upper neck. Their skin shows through in lots of places. Next fall she'll look normal.

Cool thanks guys, last year was my first year hunting so i dont have any previous pictures to compare to. I just noticed that out of 35-40ish doe at all my other locations and even the ones at the same location none look like this one. Just thought it was odd, or maybe something was wrong with it.
