You got that right! Danged ugly! I'm figuring mange, maybe some other disease, or genetic mutation! One question. The deer is laying in a truck bed with a tag in it's ear. Why in the world would he shoot something that looked like that?!

Maybe he's gonna get a life-size mount :)
LOL! LOL! Oh lord! A full body mount! Well, it might make those oversized gals with the cottage cheese thighs feel better!:D

i could be wrong about the whole state but here in SW OH we dont get tags on that paper anymore. Standard white paper they are printed on. Been like that a couple years. everyone else still get them on colored paper?

either way though that is a wild looking deer. Looks like the dogs/people from that movie....I am Legend, with Will Smith. Hopefully that is not some virus that is going to spread throughout the herd. doubt it, but that is a crazy looking animal.

On private property I would guess to clean the proverbial gene pool. If it was from public land it could be the same reason, or maybe just a mercy killing cause if it from any of the surrounding states it surely would have frozen to death. Who knows?

Massillon, I hope your not serious. Nothing about ugly, it's a genetic mutant or diseased & probably wouldn't survive a mid-south winter, let alone a Midwest or northern winter. If you left it for the coyotes, it'd do no good, they'd probably leave it for the possums !!
I'm sorta serious yes. How old do you think that deer was? It survived somehow didn't it? I dunno, knit him a coat or something if you are worried about him being cold. Its not up to use to cleanse the gene pool really. If it were up to man, there'd probably be few of us left.. And we'd all look a lot alike. It takes all types. I've since read some non-native lice can do this as well as mange? Not necessarily genetic.

People are so quick to discount based on looks alone and that bothers me. Ew, it looks different so its bad! :/ I thought he was kinda cute lol. I also think carp are cute. NOT asian carp(das not racist). Those low slung eyeballs are pretty goofy looking. Kill em all!

Heres a story about another hairless deer.

I agree with Susan here:

LOL!
