And a huge patch of fur on the left flank is "different" I didn't get a picture of that. I saw a tail-less deer last year but it had all sorts of bumps so I passed on it.
it's hard to see in this picture but they looked like a mass, not just ruffled fur
It's the biggest deer I've seen so far this season. I don't know if this is CWD or trauma. I'm not a trophy hunter bit a "fill the freezer" hunter.
Would you take the shot?
