They don't look too bad to me....  :dunno: It looks like a deer that might have been a little late getting rid of their winter coats or has been laying in the dirt. I bet they will be just fine.

its strange to me cause its just the muleys that are raggidy looking while the white tail look fine then on the buck side the mule deer bucks  have normal growth for this time of year and the white tail seem to be growing slower than normal years

Look pretty normal for lactating doe(s) - it takes a lot of energy to make milk.  Mule deer usually look a little rattier than the whitetails, especially in summer, their coats are quite a bit thinner than the whities.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Looks like a summer deer to me. Hormones get funky after they give birth and it can make them loose hair. I'm sure the hair fine :twocents:

Cool feeder you have strapped to the tree!.

Dump a little jet fuel in it to attract some of the hawgs roaming the base into your camera setup  :chuckle:

thanks! it cost about 15 dollars to make and i got 3 of them set up on the land i am hunting....they hold a bag of 40# corn and  last on average a week....the one in the picture was the one i had made first i had made a miss judgement and cut the feeder part at the bottom too low so the feed was just falling out, but a quick application of bark in there and it did what it is suppose to.
