. 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. . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

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. -------- There are those who only reload so they can shoot, and then there are those who only shoot so they can reload. I belong to the first group. Dom --------- | |||

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. | |||
