    it looks to me that the hair is falling off of the neck and its head. i would show this pic to a conservation officer and see if you can take him out... or shoot him and have him tested for cwd... or other known illnesses. it does look sick!

    Your deer is just fine. He's simply losing his summer time coat of fur.
