Balding on top

I have never seen this . What is wrong with this deer?

Shedding summer coat.

I think it's cwd you better kill it

Just kidding. I've seen it but I'm never sure what causes it. Usually don't see it as severe as this case.

It 's still summer

I haven't seen a deer like that yet this year and usually not that bad. Could be nothing to some kind of mite, mange or some other dermatitis thing.

Deer do get sick, and I've seen some of our livestock shed after a bad fever or even an injury. He does look a little bony, maybe?

Looks like it didn't hurt horn growth!

That is him pictured on the left,decent horn growth, still young.

As QSYB mentioned that front should looks funny, That bone shouldnt be that far forward... Feavor from injury ?

About half of my deer look like this. I guess they don't pay attention to your rules about seasons.

I hope it means we are in for an early fall / winter.

Yep, all deer will do this.Bucks will loose that summer hair and slick off to a fall/winter coat within a few days of stripping of their velvet. I have some that look like that here.

Just shedding nothing wrong. Just like with their velvet, bucks will slick off their summer coat at different times.

Buy em some head and shoulders. My deer prefer panteen.

Agreed nothing wrong with this deer

If that's good enough for a deer then it's good enough for me. I ain't goin bald I'm just shedding summer hair.
