What do you think this growth is?
 

Do any of you guys have any idea of what the grwoth between this bucks front legs migh be? The first picture i got of him was about the 18th of August and it doesn't look like there is anything there. The second picture i just downloaded from my camera last night and you can see how fast its growing. I am assuming its just some sort of tumor, but if any of you have seen something like this before, let me know.

Good Huntin'

Looks like a boob l o l , maybe its just a fatty tumor and no I never saw anything like that.

It looks like a tumor. I shot a doe that had one in the exact same spot. It came off with the hide and no meat was lost.

I think he's just happy to see you...

I shot a buck a few years ago that had one like that but it was quite a bit bigger. It was filled with some kind of yellow fluid, looked kinda like pee. I've heard what causes that but can't remember right now though, it's been too long ago.

I saw a deer like that once on a hunting show a few years back. The buck was an absolute monster, but they were treating him as a "management" deer, and wanted to get him out of the heard. I can't remember what they said the "tumor" actually was, but I figure it must be something pretty important.

It's not a tumor
