Shedding Winter Coat????
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:59:18 AM »
I saw a few deer behind the house.  Hopefully they are just shedding there winter coats and not some form of bug.  Any insite would be great.  Took the pictures through my window, so they are not the best.

Could be hair loss, pretty common to see in BT's.  Looks like bare skin to me.

It doesn't look like shedding to me. Looks like hair loss. I saw a couple the other day. They were about 40 yards away and I was looking through 10X binoculars. They were near bald. Quite gross to say the least. I mainly effects yearlings due to weaker immune system or something, but I'm pretty sure any age deer can get it.

The deer in the photo do have slip.  I have seen many with it over the last 10 years and it seems to be getting worse around my place.
