Saw this condition over the last few years on a few deer here at my house in NJ.  Then EHD hit and I thought it was gone.  Now this deer showed up today.  

Mange?

Sure looks like mange.  She will not survive prolonged extreme cold (especially wet) conditions with that much hair loss.   A deer's stomach is a large furnace, and the fat is fuel, but it's hair is the insulation.

A friend posted the photo below…not sure where it is…assuming somewhere in NY.  I’m meeting with a NYSDEC deer biologist tomorrow and will ask about both.

It'll be interesting to see what he says! Curious myself...

Yikes! I don't recall ever seeing anything like that. Even on it's face...

Fibromas aka deer warts.  

What Rusty said. We’ve seen that posted elsewhere many times. Not as unusual as you might think.  Looks horrible. Rusty can confirm, but I believe the meat is fine.

Interesting.  Of all the places I bait, the only place I see this occurring is at my house.  Same bait supplier/farmer for all spots.
