Five Seasons Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have a small 5 acre parcel behind my house with some great feed, a bunch of doe and some bucks floating in and out so I put up a stand and a few cams. I've seen most of the doe just hanging out in my backyard eating apples (some funny pics on the cam with apples in their mouths) and never noticed any injuries in person, but this pic looks a little funny and was wondering what you guys thought? Injury, illness or funny angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) It's just the IR showing the lines where her coat is changing over. Edited September 30, 2013 by phade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think injury. That knee joint looks enlarged and that hind quarter looks pretty boney... In the first pic, it almost looks like she's holding that foot up, maybe favoring it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfdeputy2 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I thought injury too but that first 2 pics also looks like you caught her in action scratching herself so not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoupe Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Boy it's really tough. Looked at pic2 and immediately thought injured, then with 3 I'm in the "I don't know, maybe" camp. Pic 2 just looks like things aren't where they should be. lol Could be either but I think I'd bet on injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 it's interesting because up until last week on the 2 cams I have on the 5 acres I've had a big mature doe, I mean a real freaking donkey and 2 younger doe, 5 fawns and a spike. I had been seeing them all spring and summer. Then last week I get a nice 8 point, a funky 5 and possibly more doe. The hundreds of pictures of the does show nothing like that, so it's hard for me to figure if she's a new doe who's injured or one of the other doe at a funny angle or even possibly new injury. I do believe if it's an injury that it's an old one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampotter Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Definite injury. Look at the hock. Same things happens once in a while to our cows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
