Title: Chelan trail camera
Post by: Transka on March 06, 2011, 06:43:55 AM
While Checking Trail Camera we had this buck come down off the hill right after dropping some feed down. He ended up about ten yards from us. notice the scar on his hip...after he left we looked at the pictures off the Trail Camera.

That's a nice buck. You'd better get up there soon, so those antlers don't get all chewed up by the timber tigers

My guess is a kitty cat was scratching his back for him.   :chuckle:

Post by: billythekidrock on March 07, 2011, 12:00:33 PM
Maybe a cat with one claw that can scratch in a straight line.  :dunno: I guess we need to see the other side of the deer for scars.

I have seen a few deer killed with "burn" marks and scars just like this from bullets. Depending on the angle of the shot and the positioning of the deer, a straight burn can look curved.

If there are not scars on the other side, you can bet there is a bummed rifle hunter out there.

I was thinking maybe a car?  :dunno: In the first pic it looks like some hide is gone off his back leg, almost like road rash.  :twocents:

Post by: MtnMuley on March 08, 2011, 12:40:07 PM
Almost looks like he was in a frantic (stuck on a fence).  Maybe not.  Also, maybe he took a dive off a cliff.  Road hit would be my only other thought.  Anyhow, thanks for posting the pics.  They are great!  I'm sure the bone isn't too far from your pics, so you should have a pretty easy time rounding them up -- good luck.  Oh ya, forgot to mention, but that's what I call a TANK!

Title: Re: Chelan trail camera

looks like a cat scratch to me, one lucky buck.
Title: Re: Chelan trail camera
Post by: longknife on April 21, 2011, 07:12:15 AM
The strange thing is if you look at it both the doe and the buck have the exact same scars in the exact same place and that is very fishy!!


Its the same deer, lost its horns. Looks like maybe a cat had got on his back, and missed his neck? Kicked harder with his rear leg.  deep, wide wound

Very cool, NICE BUCK!
