Winter coat in bed

Unread postby KIoutdoors » Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:07 am

Finally got internet back :dance: been to long! but I found a bed while spot checking a different one this summer. I only seen it because there was a lot of hair all over in a circle and walked over because I thought it was a dead deer but there were no bones or anything and I looked around pretty good. So I followed the hair literally to his staging area filled with rubs from last year 30 yards to the left of his bed ( This is in hill country). I was wondering if you guys have ever seen this before were a deer sheds his winter coat and the hair is all around in his bed or do you think it was from him dieing there? I will try to post pictures of the bed if I can figure out how.

Yup, they often shed heavy like that in the spring. To learn how to post pictures check out the announcements thread.
