Post by: buglebuster on January 14, 2012, 07:59:32 PM: Looks like he could have potential if he was health.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 14, 2012, 08:01:47 PM: Yeah he seems to have a few spots sunken in and he just looks off. It has been pretty mellow this winter and most the deer I have seen have been looking good so far.

November, washington state.

Probably just got his ass kicked all november long and was worn down. He looks like a guy who just got his woman stolen and his ass kicked anyways :chuckle:

Post by: haugenna on January 14, 2012, 09:37:17 PM: I bet he has an arrow shaft or bullet in him somewhere?
Title: Re: healthy...unhealthy
Post by: boneaddict on January 15, 2012, 09:39:42 AM: I figured more chronic. He looks to have good antler genetics dimensions wise, but they are spindly, mishapen etc. I would have expected to see a weak side or something like that with an injury. :dunno:

Post by: buckfvr on January 15, 2012, 10:24:58 AM: to me, he looks a bit bloated, and I too think he may have something in him i.e. shaft or bullett. His posture and ear position suggest hes uncomfortable /miserable to me.

Post by: Kowsrule30 on January 15, 2012, 11:39:57 AM: Was he walking and standing kind of hunched up like it appears???? If so he might have a wound to the gut.... Why he looks a little thin and sucked in.... Not eating or digesting properly..... :twocents:
