my parents feed the deer every winter( i know all the arguements, so do they). this year through binoculars i noticed one deer has a growth over her eye, like a tumor. any thoughts on this? have you seen anything abnormal on a deer before? she looks healthy, by the way.

Haven't seen that type of thing except in pix.

I got a pic last summer of a barnical buck or possibly antlered doe. It is weird. No beams, just lots of very short bumps(points?) It was in fresh velvet.

I had hoped to see the deer during bow season but no luck. It was the one I wanted since it was so unusual and rare.

This pic was taken in early July. Any ideas?

Good luck!

Animals get a lot of diseases, scars & warts.

i watched a hole bunch of bucks and does one year and one doe had no tail it could not of been the cold when she was born b/c her ears were good

Here are a couple of pics of a piebald I got in the late season this year.

I haven't really seen any wierd deer in the wild but there used to be an albino doe that lived on some public hunting ground about 30 miles from here. It was pretty famous...especially since it is illegal to shoot them here in Iowa. After it died the town closest to there did a full body mount and I have seen that. It is all white and the eyes, nose, and hooves are pink.

Here's a weird rack...

I don't know if it was the result of an injury or defective genes.

My guess is its a injury on his left side of the body. But it is just MY guess.

Don't you mean an injury on the buck's right side?

Seen a deer one time with claw marks from the neck down on both sides, and another with a big collar around its neck, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
