What's on this deer

[Doc]

What do you all think are the black spots on this deer's back?

 

[Pygmy]

A load of #4 shot ?

[waterweasle]

little patches of winter hair that haven't been replaced yet?

It could be. I was thinking mud splatter from another deer, or maybe flies (hopefully not ticks .... yuck!). I wish the picture was a little sharper.

Maybe fibromas

ticks?

 I have several trailcam pics, last year of the same condition with flies.  I see if I can locate.

 

Doe s ribs are showing. You need some foodplot feed Doc.

She's got twins that I think keep her pretty wore out ..... lol. There certainly is no shortage of food here. Besides, her days are numbered. She's one of those that are eating everything in my yard. She has to go!

look like deer flies, they are bad this year.

[sits in trees]

some kind of insect infestation.

Looks like axel grease...... she's probably bedding under that trailer in the background!

bot flies hard for a deer to scratch them off up there
