What is curious is the blemish just behind the right forequarter. Haven't been able to obtain a close-up but it is an obvious deformation of the skin on the animal.
I cannot help but wonder if it might be the consequence of a botched bow-shot. A wound caused by a deflected arrow or poor shot placement? Is it healed or is it festering? From all outward appearances the animal appears healthy. She has been mothering a fawn.
Wounded animals have been know to survive with broad heads remaining embedded in the flesh after the arrow shaft has been busted-off.
I wonder...
