Dakota Dog Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Can anybody tell what maybe wrong with this little guy? I can not tell if he is loosing his hair or if he is a pieball. What are your thoughts? The picture was taken back in July of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Shedding maybe? I actually see alot of deer with patches like this during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 just the other day I saw a doe that looked worse then that, like it lost a fight with a velcro machine. but I'm sure it's a natural coat process & a healthy animal. funny how it doesn't happen to them all at once.

biggamefish Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Just looks like he is getting a new coat. Dicks probably didn't have his size and it is on back order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have one on cam like that, actually a lot bigger patches. But looks healthy, as everyone else said its prob the coat change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin Fever Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Perfectly normal. Like others have said, he's just losing his bright summer coat and getting in his darker winter coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HectorBuckBuster Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have several pictures in the last 2 weeks with deer getting their winter coat. I also noticed my black lab is doing the same thing. It kind odd worries me they are switching their coats this early. Might be a early winter or colder winter. At this rate, I am thinking leaves will be pretty thin when bow seasons starts on Oct 16th . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I hope so, I hate not being able to see far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
