That vid was posted in the hunting section last year and there was quite a bit of speculation as to what was wrong with it. CWD? Hit in the head hard enough to break an antler off? I dunno but it's nothing like I've ever seen.

Ya, odd.
Either brain injury or illness.
Drooling and one ear outwards, the other backwards.
Too bad.

The only reason that I remembered it is because it's so unusual.

May have taken a pounding from another buck and has internal damage.

Cwd
Would be a good bet it has CAD. Not much else but rabies damages the brain that much. Lots of bucks lose antlers in battle, but that doesn't make them lose fear.

Closely resembles middle ear and sinus infection you see in cattle. Without antibiotics, the infection compounds into pneumonia, and becomes fatal.

I'm going with CWD, hit by a car or shot at the base of the antler and rattled him.

Yep kind of my guess too, like if you de-horn in really cold weather they can get pretty sick, or if that horn had come off in fall fly season a fly could have laid eggs in there before it sort of healed over. The droopy ear is definately a sign of an inner infection.

Yotes got an easy meal later on I would think. Someone should have put it down or at least called F&W to check it out
