Skinny Buck

[choo-choo]

Despite all the food around in my yard this summer,... unlimited browse, grass, clover, plums, pears and apples , this young 7 point buck seems healthy, but awfully thin.I took these pictures early this month. There are 2 other bucks and 6 does that live here and are all in great shape compared to him. Any thoughts ?

To much Deer Cane??? Lol

Looks like he had a wound lower but in back of his rib cage. Tuft of fur there out of place. Good target for a youth hunter!

We have a 5 pt that is the same way. Every other deer is healthy and full bodied but this one buck is just horrible looking. Just one of those deer that you want to put down to save its misery

[bout time]

I have 2 doe that are identical to that. There are close to a dozen total and for whatever reason just these two have ribs showing and are thin

This one is looking a little thin too...  LOL

If he has previous injury, may be no good to eat. Been down that road unfortunatly.

[ontherise]

I wonder if a tick infestation could cause that ? Or a parasite of some sort?

Agree with this comment 100%

 

I think this deer could be spectacular in a year or two.

Looks fine. I thinks it just needs more time to develop.

  I think your right, looks like a young buck that hasen't finished growing into a large body and if you let him go two more years he'll be a dandy, thats if he can make it two more years.

[choo-choo]

Thanks for the thoughts and comments...I hope he makes it a few more years too.

We also have pics of young bucks ribs showing . They seem fine I think yes there is variety among deer populations. We have a strain of deer with white patches on the legs and around the hooves . pretty cool I saved the legs of one small button buck we shot a few years back.
