Default what is wrong with this deer?

I have a bunch of videos of this buck back before the rut started. then he disappeared for like 6 weeks. now hes back but with this mass on his neck. does anyone know what it could be? would you think the meat would still be good if i chose to shoot this deer?

Some sort of tumor or growth under the skin. Have seen a ton of pictures of similar instances.

Terrible resolution.

Looks like the tree trunk behind him, to me.

Yeah...that's ugly.

I've seen photos of a doe with one about 3X that big. Photos of her a few weeks later, showed it had dissipated to almost nothing.

I'm thinking it's some sort of cyst.
