What is wrong with buck

[mossyhorn]

I have passed on the high rack buck a few times last year, Don't know if he is sick or just young. He doesn't have the weight as the other deer.

Need more pics. Just could be old age or lack of teeth. Definately sick!

Probably old and on the way down. Just a guess.

If he made the winter he needs to go if you see him next year. I shot one just like that this year to get him off our place.

He looks old. Did you see him during the season? Had 2 old does that looked like that at the beginning of last hunting season and they never made thru the season. They just disapeared by January.

The last time he was seen, was during late spike and doe. i seen him a eight yards. he is about 70 lbs. about as big as a doe.

his rumen may be out of whack.... or he could have ingested something not desigend to be inside a deer..... there are alot of possibilities

[mossyhorn]

He is not the only bad deer on the place , This one is 4 years old . does not have musk glands on back legs nor any nuts. stays in velvet all year long.

Have you been able to observe that buck regularly? Curious as to what he is acting like. Other than weight loss has he been drinking and urinating alot? Excessive drooling. How about behavior traits like repetitive head bobbing/lowering, or perhaps holding head in a lowered position? A constant blank facial expression? Grinding teeth?

yep...i was thinking the same thing...strung out on methamphetamines

[mossyhorn]

Other than is a small body deer , he is first to feeder. can't see rib cage, he acts fine. he is the only deer that comes like clock work. that is why i think he is just young or maybe wounded when he was young

That one needs to be put down.
