Rough Looking Doe

[Blackbeard]

Man, she looks rough. She's at the feed site alot too and looks much different than the other deer. Mange, ticks, mites, or something, but her hair seems longer too. Weird.

Looks to be a fairly large doe. My first thought was old age. I wonder how old she is.

Looks like she just has some bed head then walked around in the rain. Weight wise, she looks healthy to me.

Shedding?? Looks healthy otherwise.

Looks healthy to me. With these cool nights, they'll be shedding soon and that's my guess with her...

Yep, that's my thinking as well. Summer coats have already shown signs of falling out. Nice doe BB!

Here is a good pic of where the deer on our place are at with shedding. They do look sickly!

You guys hit the nail on the head. It's my opinion as well, that she is shedding her summer coat. Her body looks pretty healthy TOO.

I agree after looking at both Blackbeard's and Buckstar's pics. Sure gives them that mangy look!!
