The above images were taken about 3-4 days after the Buck was shot. The buck was constantly licking its wounds and appeared to be both in distress and quite frightened. He is mingling with the herd, but doesn't appear to have the least interest in the rut which was ongoing at the time.

I suspect that the Buck was shot at close range, at night and that it managed to elude the poachers in the darkness.

My next posting will be a series of images taken about eight days after we first found the wounded Buck.
