john b 38 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I shot this doe this afternoon and noticed these patches of fur rubbed off both hind legs on the 'knees'. I've probably been walking round with my eyes shut, but I don't recall having seen this before. Is it the result of mating do you think ? No other signs of mixy or anything.

greatwhitehunter 47 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 i shot one with similar wounds on its legs a few months back i guessed it was shot before or got attacked by something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gibby 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 You can quite often see tufts of rabbit fur lying in fields where bucks have been fighting I think. If this is a buck rabbit its probably the result of a fight with another buck over who gets to pump the does! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john b 38 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 No it was a Doe and a milky one at that. It was two 'matched' patches just on the hind legs on the outside of the knees - looked like carpet burns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
