    Hey Guys,

    I just got this trail cam pic this week and it's a sad one. It looks like a monster we have on the farm is dead.

    Just curious.....how far do you think a buck like this could go from here? Or how many more days do you think he could last? I went searching but haven't found him yet.

    Thanks

    I've never seen the likes of that before, but it looks like a case of elephantitis of the nuts with some mange thrown in? :confused: His days are surely numbered though.
    Whatever the case, I hope you kill him so we can get some good, close up pics of him.

    Yotes may have attacked him and that may be his guts hanging out. Could be why his hair looks like that.

    Looks like he lost a fight with a car. I'd say that bag may be herniated guts? Or possibly fluid of some kind.

    Deer are tough animals. No telling how long he will last or how far he will make it.

    Hate to see a deer in rough shape like that, especially a buck of this caliber.
