wounded buck photo

looks like a wound but maybe it had its winter coat on last season and doesnt have it on yet this year and the flies are bad maybe they irritated it

Didnt look too bad in June (I've seen these thin hair patches on many deer in different sizes and shapes) but definitely opened within the thin area in July. Looks pretty superficial so would guess some type of infected bite or scape. I can't imagine something that small and superficial will cause him any serious harm. Nice looking buck.

thanks for the feedback guys, my theory was an existing wound that reopened as well, with some sort of infection taking place. I just figured i would throw it out there for some extra input! It was just kind of wild seeing the progession of the wound in pictures. Guess thats what makes trail cameras so much fun.

looks like someone hit him a little high.. hard to tell though

Time to save this buck from a slow death due to infection.

got some more pictures of him my last go at the cameras, i only check them once every other month, and he looks a lot better. looks like hair is starting to grow back. once I get the pics transferred on this computer, i'll post them for your thoughts.
thanks for the input guys!

Here are a few more recent pics of the wounded buck. They are not as crystal clear as the previous ones, but he seems to be healing over
