Was out back this morning and see this buck about 40 yds away. Standing under a tree like a statue. First thought was a doe was in lock down. I got the camera out for a pic and noticed he was acting odd. Then hit video and started walking towards it eventually getting about 7 yds from it. Then realized I hit stop on the video. He still hasn't ran off so I got the video on again. He seemed a little thin from the rut and had most of his tail stripped of hair and skin. It walked off slowly. About 5 mins later saw it again about 100 yds away. Walked up about 14 yards away and shot a 20 ga in the ground and it had NO reaction. I don't know what was wrong with it but something was.
