Nice whitey.

Good one Bobcat!  Congrats. 
 The wound looks similar to hot spots like my dogs get occasionally in summer, only worse.  Nasty looking stuff there.

WOW, I've seen a lot of dead deer, never seen anything quite like that wound on his hind leg?

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm still thinking the scarred up legs are from him getting down to hide from people and vehicles driving by, as he was living near a major highway, and a gravel county road. Also a seriously high infestation of coyotes in the area. It's unbelievable how many we saw and heard, and coyote crap everywhere you look. I'm hoping to go back in a few months to do some coyote hunting. I don't know how any fawns are surviving with that many coyotes around.

Here's a picture of one of the front knees. You can see it's been scarred up and healed over, and the hair has grown back. Wish I would've gotten some better pictures. Another thought is it could have happened from going under fences. We found one spot where deer had regularly going under a barb wire fence.
