They are skin tags. My dad shot one a few years back that had them all over its face and neck. The game department said if it doesn't go through the skin into the meat they are fine to eat. None of us died from eating it so they must be right!!!!  :chuckle:

 My buddy shot a fork year before last that had those on it too, nasty looking for sure, but once unwrapped you couldn't tell it had any.

I would agree with this post, shedding looks odd but natural  :twocents:

It looks like the doe has deer hair loss syndrome. A growing problem in the Northwest.

They are just a growth on the deer. I see them almost every year and they disappear with the summer coat.once the weather cools down.
