Agree with the sun light. It’s low light and it looks like it just caught the side perfectly. The doe looks like she’s reacting to the buck raising it’s head and maybe moving toward her to run her off “his” feed …
We had another deer on cam in a feed pen mid January that had an arrow stuck in his vertebrae. Really nice 3 year old 10 with a couple extras. This is about 5 miles away but as far as I know no one now hunted in this area for quite some time. We aren’t mld so our seasons been over for 5-6 weeks now.
Lighted knock, shot placement, deer ducking, last pic of morning… I’d be headed out to investigate if it was my place. Awful lot of coincidences it seems.
When I zoom in it looks like she has hair missing from that red spot on to the back..? Maybe some kind of glare as mentioned before-especially if that actually is hair missing.
I think her posture is her ducking a bit because that buck has his ears laid back telling her she's too close!
Could be a nock. And she may have an arrow stuck in her. And it could be just the way the light is hitting the nock to make it stand out. Or it could be a fluke light transmission through the lens on your cam. I do believe she is backing away from the buck that is turning towards her. Hence, her front right hoof in the air about to step away from the buck whose front right leg is lifted and turned toward her.
If it is an arrow, I bet you get more pics of her soon enough. And no telling how long she will have it in there. It does look like a backstrap shot, if it's an arrow.
