Deer tongue hanging out

I have had this one buck with his tongue hanging way out in about every picture he is in. Do y’all know the cause of this? Sorry I don’t know how to upload pictures.

If he is chasing does then it should be pretty obvious

Maybe he's tired.....

Deer with a fever (often caused by Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease or EHD/Bluetongue) will have their tongue out if the infection is severe. These deer are almost always found by water and this would be during the fall.

Broken Jaw or sick

I think it had something to do with your handle.

This!

Tired from licking tang

:violin😂😂

where abouts do you hunt? i know of one nw of FW that is the same way.

Could also be Woody Tongue which is a bacterial infection of the tongue. It is usually fatal in the wild without treatment.

Pics!

I don’t know how to post them from my phone. I can text the pics if you pm your number.

A buddy of mine had a doe on his place that was the same way. Her tongue looked like that her whole life. I have no idea what causes it, but she always appeared to be healthy and she was able to eat normally.

definitely not the same deer.

I have had different does in in just about every place I have hunted with their tong's hanging out. I was always told that they were overheated. Makes sense also with them possibly have a fever too.
