What do you think is wrong with this doe

I have heard of having a lump in yer throat but that is unreal! The poor thing should probably be taken out. The buck I got this year had an infection inbetween his horns from sparring. He had to have been in pain. EJ

That is a tumor i believe. I shot a doe with one in the exact same spot. Not that big though, about softball sized.

About 10 years ago we had a doe that looked just like that one!! We had her and one that had a injured front leg all through rifle season that we kept seeing but we would not shoot. Well on the last day my uncle put a drive on and we both knew that them two would come out! And sure enough they did. I had not taken anything yet so I chose the one with the injured leg! We figured it was a tumor. The one that we seen had it from the throat down to the brisket and it was the size of a basketball! That is the only deer I have ever seen with a tumor like that other than in magazines and the one you posted here!

probably a tumor or an abcess from a previous wound

But if you shot her.......would ya eatthe meat?
I dont think I could.

Too bad you didn't see her during season and put her out of her misery....

Bow season is still in. No I wouldn't eat her. I had a doe two years ago that was like this one but the swelling was under her hind legs.She could hardly move.

I have seen that before on deer. Believe it or not I know someone who took a deer with the same bulge in the same area. Well he took it to the DEP officers and they cut the sack that was filled with a yellowish liquid. Inside floating freely was a broad head. The officers explained that it is common for a deer to be shot ( bullet or arrow ) and not be fatally wounded. With the bullet or broadhead stuck inside the deers body itwill form a protective sack around the object and very slowly push the object through the skin, it's natures way of protecting them from injury's.

we took a spike this year off the land that had the same problem, except it was on his leg and it was probably not comfortable for him.

A buddy of mine took two of them like that, two years apart. The first was a cancerous tumor. The second he shot because he thought it was the same thing. It wasn't.LOL It was an infection, and was it ever nasty. I'll spare the details, but it did resemble pancake batter, and lots of it.
