    Looks like just a bald spot. I have shot deer that have this and there was no scar or anything there and looks to be the same as what you have pictured. Could also be a scar though.

    Tough to say....it could very easily be an old wound, or a bald spot. I think a white moth landed on that bucks back and was very photogenic

    That looks like its right where the spine is so my guess is that its not from an arrow but who knows?

    it does kinda have a moth look, I saw the triangular shape and immediately thought broadhead

    I think you need to shoot him and find out for sure.

    Could go either way but I am leaning towards no based on the location. Is this your first picture of him?

    Bucks will scratch at ticks, etc., with their antlers and rub spots on their backs. That is my guess. I have watched some bucks do this many times and some of them had a LOT of hair rubbed off.

    I believe it is either a battle scar or just a bald spot.
