What do you think is wrong with this deer?

[nywaw]

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?

According to @Rustyit could be something like mange or lice.

We'll, that's gotta be tuff keeping warm.

Never seen anything quite like that on a deer here. Got to be some type of mange or parasite?

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.

Looks like some weird issue with neck, shoulder area as well as the hair loss. Bad shape

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.

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.

Yes, the meat is fine.  It's a skin thing, it doesn't affect the muscle.
