Prob look like a scene from Tremors where they explode when shot.Good grief I would pay money to watch someone shoot that thing with an arrow
The more you look at it the worst it gets. What has me dumb founded is that he grew such a healthy rack with such health issues litterally everywhere else on himEmail the penn state deer research team, they’ll tell you. My money is on tumor
Edit: actually after looking at it again, id contact you local wildlife biologist/game department and share it with them. That deer looks pretty diseased besides the tumor…
Agree.Sure looks like an arrow shaft sticking up out of it on the left side of his throat patch. You can see it clearly in the first and third pics. Either an arrow or a stick, but definitely something sticking out of him causing a huge abscess.
