We see lots of that in Iowa, Yours maybe just a tade bit longer but its pretty common here. maybe one of our bucks migrated east and got into your gene pool

ita not what i thought when i thought maned deear, i was thinking like a horse.
thats kinda what we think of as raised hacles, kinda like if a dog is on alert defending its territory from another dog. or at least trying to look aggressive and formidable..like its saying out or else.

I've seen a few like that......very few......iw as told by an old timer in TN. that it is caused by a sorta in and sorta not in rut. I kinda figured he was right cause all i avhe seen were late season...mostly younger bucks.....and at the time the does were goin to go into their late season heat.
I certainly would never accuse WV folk of having a mane......hehehehehe...........what they call them on jack azzes?
