Whats this lump from?

[Elkslayer]

I have had this buck coming in for the last 4yrs now. This year I noticed a couple of lumps on his lower neck. They appear to be getting larger over time. Just curious what you guys think might cause this.

  Dont know what causes this, but you better take him out of his misery.  You may not get a chance at him after this year.  He's starting to show his age.

Sometimes cheat lups and sometime infections can cause them. My uncle shot a buck this year that had a lump on one of his back hams. When I cut it, well lets just say it was not very pretty.

ive seen from what I thought were punctures from fighting turn into lumps

[kckrawler]

I shot one like that a few years ago, minus the nice antlers!!! When I skinned him, it was just a big fatty sort of growth. No smells or anything like that so I cut it out and continued on. He ate great

I seen a cow a few years  ago that had what looked like 20 or more golf balls under its skin, it  looked healthy, except for all the bumps, and I asked a local warden he said it was some kind of parisite they get and the meat would still be good

My guess is that it is a fat tumor, I had a dog that got one and a friend of mine has a dog that had it removed

Some are grisle, some are lipomas or fat, some are abcesses, some are jsut plain NASTY (viruses or fungi) 


I reemmber showing a photo of a deer with nastys on it to my virology professor at CWU.  He told me to shoot it on site and wrote out a big thing to give me in case WDFW showed up. LOL    I didn't see the deer again, nor did I have any intentions on going to jail as I figure his note would't keep me out of there.   He was dead serious though.

Probably scar tissue from some archery hunter that wasn't using lighted knocks.

Could be a fat tumor,  seen this on dogs but the location, size and shape, makes me think goiter.  But I don't know if deer suffer from lack of iodine and get goiters. Only way to know is disection.  post some pics of inside when you get him.

Caused by swallowing his chewing tabacco. Seen it more than once.

Its simply steroid injection sites. He wanted a bigger neck than his buddy during the rut

[benhuntin]

the weirdest thing I've ever seen on a deer was a bat hole
 
this bat -not sure the kind but definatly a bat- was buried inside this bucks testicles
 
there was a hole, or bat cave inside the deers scrotum
 
 
the hunter who harvested it contacted wdfw, offered it to a lab, froze it and keep it in the freezer but got very little interest in it from wdfw
he tossed out the deer upon the advise of wdfw and was peeved they didn't offer him a new tag.
 
 
but anyways, I seen it
