I recall seeing her last year on the same plot but she had twins last year. I can't seem to find her pic out of the multitudes I saved last year but I know it's the same doe. She didn't have any fawns this year as far as I've been able to see and this was about the 10th pull I've had her on camera. That alone makes me think she's old anyway but she also has extremely saggy skin under her eyes. I'm pretty convinced she's probably about twelve years old but that snout is either a birth defect or injury so I'm guessing shes both old and a birth defect. Whichever, I didn't see any evidence she passed the trait on to the fawns last year. I wouldn't mind if she passed along the long live gene though .
My number one hit list buck looks similar, all but the camel nose. This is January This is May This is June This is July
Cool! Haha, he looks more like a moose/whitetail hybrid than anything. Man he exploded out a nice rack this year.
Does often get their noses broken when battling with other does... I have watched them stand and kick the crap out of each other. I'd have to guess if not a broken nose then surely a birth defect...
