What's Wrong With This Doe?
 
Look at the doe on the right. In addition to being skinny, she has some kind of injury to her left hip.

A lot of deer have shabby coats during the summer, many times with patches completely rubbed off. That's kind of what it looks like to me.

I don't see anything either my friend. Just a little skinny is about all.

This is what my deer look like in my hunting area. This is an area I manage as a hunt captain:


Even the young ones are really healthy. Oct 1st is getting closer!!!

Look at the two black spots on the does hip, one above the other. When i blow the game camera photo up the area around the upper black spot seems swollen.

Sorry too hard to tell with your photo. If you wanted us to see it better, maybe a blown up photo could have helped. My eyes are getting too old to see this small. ;)

It is perfectly obvious! she has another deer sticking out her a##!

Can't see anything either from that far away.

Looks fine by me. She's a little thin, but not dangerously so. She does have fawns, so they may have taken a little out of her. The black spot on the hip looks simply like a spot with no hair. And I don't see any evidence of injury or swelling. She appears to be putting full weight on the leg after all.

Could be "Deer warts". I am not sure of the technical name. I only ever shot one that had them but they are common. It is an area that gets infected from ticks, wire or what ever and a spongy black growth covers it. Sometimes they even fall off. If that is what it is, it is nothing to worry about.
