Tough girl!

The river flooded pretty good this past week and pushed a few strangers up into the woods.
This doe came in with two yearling fawns, she looks to have had a bad winter.

I'm thinking an arrow may have sliced her open?

She will get a pass on our place forever if she decides to stay.

She's already growing hair back on the top of that slice.

You may not even recognize her in the fall.

I see this quite a bit,not always this big but way to often for them all to be from arrows,probably some from fences

 

[Catscratch]

I would guess fence or hoofs.

I see that, somewhat regularly. I think the hair molt exaggerates any little imperfection and makes all scars seem like huge wounds. IDK, just my take on it. Its nice to see they recover from it either way!
