ID:	10568 Ok so we've been getting pics of this guy very regularly. But my question is: does it look like somethings wrong with his nose area? It just looks awkward how it sticks up so far. I briefly looked up "Bullwinkle disease" and it looks kinda similar but hard to tell. Did anyone know anything about this or does it even look weird to you guys? Thanks.

    Ok was thinking about this, and would ask you if you or anyone near by runs a feeder
    reason I ask is, I have seen deer fight a LOT about feeders, and they can smack each other on the nose pretty hard
    mostly see doe fight doe, for there turn at a feeder, but have to think a bitchy doe would strike a buck
    maybe more so now if they have fawns
    and that could explain the nose on this deer to me, if not a bug bite or, heck even a snake Lol

    Yeah I have a small gravity fed feeder I put corn in, also dump a small pile of corn on the ground where I had a mineral block. He seems to eat more off of the ground than the feeder.

    I have hundreds of pictures over the yrs of deer standing on there hind legs and smacking another deer on the nose, fighting for there turn at a feeder/pile of food/mineral lick
    even my sig pic, shows one fighting LOL

    that would explain things to me
    they hit HARD too, many times been in a tree and watched them fight, the sound of the smacks, is LOUD< wouldn't be suprised if its nose was maybe broken, and thus the swelling!
    nothing you can do about it, its pecking order that drives them toi fight I think1 LOL

    Looks to be an injury of some sort. Often you see some older bucks getting what I call a Roman nose, generally from fighting, but that's a bit more than what I would be looking for.

    An injury I can deal with. I, we, were more concerned about a possible infection or something that would affect the meat. He is a buck that's Prolly gonna be on the hit list this year due to the number of pics I have of him and watching him grow, looks like he's gonna be a stud...but most importantly we hunt for the meat. Already have my 4 year old and 3 year old hooked on "deer steaks", lol! Gotta love it!!
