Do you see the blueish marks on the inside of this deer skin? They're actually deep wounds from fighting with other bucks! The bucks jab other bucks with their antlers and can leave some pretty gnarly scars. The second picture shows the damaged tissue from the outside. This is pretty common to see in older and larger deer.
