    I was wondering what you guys thought about this guy. He just showed up last week. I think he may have been injured. In the second picture I have circled an area on the lower shoulder where it looks like he may have been hit with a broad head. It looks a little different than the other creases on his coat from the rain and it is a little darker. Just wondering what you guys think.

    Looks to me like the deer is pretty wet and its just another crease. Not sure what went wrong with his rack other than damaging it while still in velvet.

    Looks like he was laying in mud. Doesn't seem to be favoring anything in the photo...
