Ideas on what's on this deers neck?

[SteveNY]

I'm clueless...

[SteveNY]

This might help.

[Paula]

Looks like part of his nose is hanging

Oh I see it better now. A stick in his neck?

To me it looks like a possible fawn with a primative flint head sticking out of his lower neck....how he would have survived that is beyond me but I wonder why it's a live picture and it wasn't put down?

[Lawdwaz]

That's no fawn.

[Renegade Hunter]

Looks like an old wound and maybe that clump is dead skin?

[Lawdwaz]

Scab from the healing wound?

 

It actually looks like a field mouse dining on the run..............................uggh.

Someone almost shot a deer in the neck, just grazing the lower portion. The hide is hanging from the top.

Is that the only pic you have of him. Wondering if it could be a messed up pic by the trail cam also,but does look like a hole with the skin flopped over

[dirt_a_KISS]

Was this taken with a trail camera or regular camera?

[jjb4900]

that looks like an open, festering wound with a flap of skin hanging down.

LOL you did see the time we were posting rt with no coffee yet....   NOW I see the antler base...

 

I stick with it looking like a primative broad head...there is clearly "hole" on either side and it comes to a point ...BUT ...it actually looks more spear size than broadhead...is this your cam or a web picture...we don't have spear hunting yet rt? ...but some states do...and reservations...

This pic is from a trail camera in PA. Gun season hasn't opened yet, but that dosent rule out some one shooting him with a firearm...

I have more pics, I'll post when I get home.

I actually saw this deer in person last night, that chunk of what ever was just dangling by his neck. Very strange looking, it reminded me of velvet coming off an antler.

Pandora's bracelet, he went to Jared.... :-)

[jjb4900]

whatever it is, it doesn't look good.

[dirt_a_KISS]

Could it be an attack wound from a yote or maybe a fight with another buck?!

[First-light]

It's a bird that landed on the wound and is cleaning out the maggots. 

[SteveNY]

Here's two more photos of him.

Looks to me like a grazing wound from a broadhead or perhaps a bullet with a flap of cut skin hanging down. The deer was broadside and the projectile clipped the brisket and opened up a flesh wound.

As long as the chest cavity was not breached, there is nothing vital there.

Unless he succumbs to infection, he will probably recover..I have seen several deer that survived worse flesh wounds than that and had healed over.

You're probably right. He looked perfectly fine when I was watching him last night digging up acorns.

 

You can bet I'm shooting him if he walks by my stand too!

He is nice looking. Looks like something is hanging from hole not attached to him

So I ended up shooting this buck during rifle season. Unfortunately I didnt get a good look at his neck like I thought I would. When I found him there were 3 bear on top of him eating him. After chasing them away (they DID NOT want to leave) I saw that they ate through that old neck wound and starting eating around the rear end also.

Strange turn of events there!  What an odd wound that was.  Really ugly.........you'd think he should have been loaded with infection??

 

Shoulda whacked those stinkin' barrr too..........

[Geno C]
