What is wrong with this guy?

Sorry. I can't seem to get the images loaded. The buck is skin and bones even the spine is showing. Hoping its not CWD.

I bet it is CWD. Has to be.

Could just be old or injured.

Run it by that Flounder guy and see what he thinks.

Please don't!

Sorry for having trouble earlier. Any idea what is going on here?

What county?
When was the picture taken?

What county? And welcome to the THF. Again, what county and when was this photo taken, please.

Thanks! Long time lurker. Sutton County. Taken last week. I found deer dead on the ranch also but it had been dead a couple weeks

Well. He's definitely emaciated. The question is why? Could be any number of ailments affecting deer. Never been a case of CWD in your county, nor are you in a CWD containment zone, so I seriously doubt that's what it is. If I were you, I'd kill the deer and take to a vet for necropsy. Or cut his head off about midway down the neck, and take to one of the voluntary CWD check stations near you. Keep the head refrigerated (not frozen) and take it to a check station within 24 hours. No later than 48 hours.

Please let us know what you find out.

www.tpwd.gov is where you can find the nearest drop off point for the head.

Deer looks like skin and bones but his cheek/lower jaw area looks swollen?

Which could be arterial worms.

old put him down. No teeth........

Sutton county is in the anthrax zone, I wouldn't mess with any animals found dead, but I'm with fouz, could be overloaded with parasites.
I'd show the pic to TPWD biologist.

Maybe a pericite, not thinking a very old deer, but not healthy by any means. Be careful what you wish for and please don't assume anything. How does the rest of your deer population look.

Look up anthrax, just read what county your in especially if your finding dead deer

The one I found dead was a small buck. It looked like he had been dead a coupleof weeks. I did not hear anyone say they lost a deer on the place but I can't be sure. The rest of the herd looks healthy. The only one at my stand that looks bad is the one I sent in the picture.
