Injured Buck

I put a different camera up in the back yard last night. I got pics of about 6 different bucks and some does. Most of the bucks are small, but this first one is kind of interesting, he has a messed up front leg and a cool rack. The second buck has a screwed up rack TOO, but I don't see any apparent injuries on him. He probably screwed it up while in velvet?

Not sure Jess, but these local bucks have to dodge cars all year, coyotes, dogs and some hunters that apparently aren't very good shots. But EVERY year a slug will show up sometime, it is just a matter of being there at the right time. I would love for one of the girls to take out that injured buck, but we will see.

Here is another view. He has some splits and nice brows.

I would almost say it is a dislocated shoulder and that is why it looks longer then the other. Also looks like he might have some nerve damage as well since he can't feel his foot to keep it flipped the correct way and stands on the top of his foot like in this pic. That is just a guess on my part
