I think he had been hit by a car sometime in the past. When I skinned him he had a length of arrow shaft between his shoulder and rib cage, was all infected, making him coyote bait for a snare bait station. Had a buckshot pellet under the skin on his rump too, healed up from at least last year. Poor guy had been thru the wringer! Sorry for the blurry picture, it's all I have. Eric

The ER is full of people with paper cuts and headaches , and this guy pushed through the pain and discomfort to carry on day after day. I'm sure his nickname was "the machine".

I’ve had that happen more than once my buddy shot one a few years back that was peppered pretty bad. Taxidermist offered to give him a new cape but he declined. Said it’s part of what the deer was. Shame people don’t think before shooting. I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."
