Just a Sniff

Just last week I published a post of a deer giving this branch the sniff.

They're still doing it.

I figure I should start being more careful about brushing it aside with my stinky, sweaty hand.  Or possibly putting something else on it to catch the attention of the local whitetails.

In any event did you notice the mange on that deer above?  Look at the base of his neck and above his forelegs.

There is either some serious shedding going-on, a bad case of mange or maybe some scarring from an accident?
