what is with this deer?

[Woodi]

It seems to be wearing its coat backwards! .....what do you make of it.....could it be a wound? (it IS hunting season here this week and next).

I don't know...maybe a cowlick? Their fur is a little rough in that area so maybe a normal variation? And since it's on the internet it begs the question -is it a real picture or has it been photoshopped?

Wow!! that is funky
It is hunting season here as well. I try not to think about it. They are soooo skinny here with xtra dry weather, there was very little to eat.

Some doe broke his heart?

Bad hair day.

It's just the way the fur lies in that area and hers happens to be extreme and long.
It's a whitetail.

No injuries past or present that I can see. The one I got this year must've broken her leg at some point or it was a birth defect. I didn't notice it when she was walking but the joint was solid.

I think it's been hunting season for a while. Archery season. At least that's what some Canadians on archery forums say.

Pssst, that is a doe.
