Now there are two deer with bum ears...

So there's been a big buck I'd been watching at north park village that I dubbed "Bum Ear" since he had one ear that just hangs down. I just assumed it was probably some sort of injury.

I spotted Bum Ear, now recently shed, a few weeks ago.



After taking some shots of him, I was surprised to see a smaller buck come by that also had a similar ear problem. One ear simply was hanging.


Is there any deer diseases that cause something like this? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it seems so weird.

most likely from fighting.....
