My husband and I took our yearly July trip to the San Juan and Blue Mountains last week and was completely horrified by the condition of the deer herd. Five bucks we saw have the same condition as the buck pictured. This little guy just has the more severe case of the five. I was hoping to run into a Fish & Game Officer to ask what in the hell is going on but no luck there! I did email the Fish & Game but have not gotten a response. Does anyone know what condition this is. I was thinking maybe ticks but not positive.
