I had pics of a buck who got an eye gouged out back in December. Last pics I have were January 4. He made it 47 days from first pics of gouged out eye until the last pics. Eye was a little bloody, then really bloody and nasty looking, on Jan 4 it appeared gone and healed over decent. Now I am deciding if his weight loss was simply post rut weight loss/late season run down, or if it is a result of him dying a slow death? Curious as to your thoughts. Suppose he will start putting on weight or will he stay MIA because he is dead?
