Check this ear out

[Dr2kill]

I've never seen this before. Was it caused by old fighting injuries? All are healed , no blood, sores, etc.

Looks like a fight or something ripped the ear, then it healed.

It's crazy you posted that. I have pics of a buck that I looked at closer yesterday and saw the same thing with his left ear.

I can only assume a fight, but who knows.

Out of curiosity, how many points did that rack have?

Here's a zoomed in pic of the one I was talking about.

This buck's head and neck were scarred up pretty good too

 

[recurve60#]

Barbed wire and fighting I'd assume.

 

[UCStandSitter]

Yo dawg you got an ear on your ear!

 

[Carlos]

I can say for sure it won't bother him anymore, haha.

This guy's back had numerous bare spots.

I'm with this….

This guy's back had numerous bare spots.

Possibly going under and through fences..

I tend to think this was caused by an attack from a bobcat or maybe a coyote.

The width of the tears line up about right with the width of a critters K-9's.
Almost like they grabbed the buck's ear, and he ripped it free.

 

[recurve60#]

Its not uncommon to me. I've killed a bunch with ripped ears.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Fighting or fences would be my guess. See does around here with notches in their ears from time to time too.
