Out yesterday evening hoping for a pig in the potatoe and corn fields in the new section of our concession. Spotted a fox and squeaked him in, then I saw this young buck. I did not hesitate and dropped him with my .275 Rigby shooting factory 139 grain Hornady SSTs. A good cull / management buck to take off. Interesting that he is still in velvet when he should have been clean and shed weeks ago! Weighed 9 kgs. In total 11 roe deer seen between 8 pm and 10 pm. Sat til 2 am but no boar! Happy days!

A poor looking buck - even for last years - I've shot a few (hundred) myself!!

Was he OK on gralloching?

No parasites, hooves clean, head, eyes, ears, mouth all ok. Liver spotless, lungs fine, spleen, kidneys all fine. Thinking maybe a young Peruckenbock and some damage to his reproductive bits? Although nothing visible.

Yes, seems the most likely explanation considering everything else you have checked off.

If you cut through the skull, for preparing the trophy, it is highly probable that you find a plenty of fly larves.

Waidmannsheil, interesting. Agree possible Peruckenbock, or he was born awfully late last year.

Never really happens - Roe have delayed blastocyte implantation - so all the eggs become implanted within 2 days at the end of January - and all kids are born in a similarly short period. A very good survival strategy - too much food for foxes to get more than a small percentage.
