Default Interesting Photos, Opinions?

I recently purchased a digital game camera, I got these pictures of a doe with either a growth on it's eye or an injury of sorts. I saw it early season bow hunting and the object was sticking out an inch about the size of a golf ball, now it's close to as big as probably a softball. Any opinions on what this could be, it's pretty interesting. Would like to take it out of the deer heard next year.

Probably a tumor of some kind. Could be there naturally or it could be ther as an absess from an injury or infection.

If you watch animal planet's Animal Cops show you see a good number of dogs with things like this on them.

Its a growth called a papoloma (spelling???) Anyway it is a skin growth that bothers the meat at all. It will likely grow larger and then just fall off. If you kill it eat with confidence.
