deer skin issues

[bwb]

I'm not sure if these are just old scars or sign of something else... The first two pics are of the same doe taken 8 days apart. There seems to be no change in the appearance of the hairless areas.

The other two seem to have a more generalized scattering of hairless areas.

Any ideas or anything I should be concerned about?

the first doe looks like a scar to me. the others are different imo. could be a skin disorder, probably just a bad year. where is this?

I know exactly what you are seeing. The deer are begining to shed there summer hair.

It looks like biting flys.

I think he is right. See it every year around this time.

Perfectly normal.

They are shedding their summer coat. It will get real bad here in the next few weeks.

Could be Mosquitos on the second one

Normal. Deer starting to shed summer coat and put on the fall coat already under it.

Its from all the fleas and ticks this year. That is where they rubbed the hair and the short hair grew back

I have an old doe with very similar bare spots I'll try to post pics as well.

Never seen them do it from fleas and ticks but have seen them do it from biting flies on their hindquarters and shoulders. These bucks pictured are new growth hair.
