what the heck happened?

This is one of many syndromes that the North American Whitetail can acquire. This indeed is some type of wart or known as "deer warts' it is known as a form of Bang's syndrome or Bang's disease. basically it is a conglomerate of many fibrous tumors. This is not entirely uncommon in the whitetail deer species. But cases this bad are less commonly seen.And is definately not confined to the northern whitetail herd. So topdawg is wrong once again.

that's gross and nasty. I wouldn't eat that even if you paid me . topdawg comments like that just show your prejudice and are not needed.Ireally don't understand this hatred towards the north that you have. Celebrate our differences instead of bashing

yup, definately the "ugliest" deer i have ever seen

I wonder if all the other deer used to laugh and call him names like they did rudolph....

on NAW they had an episode about a doe that had it, its a tumor that spread all over, its pretty crazy

it adds flavor

I don't think I would have dragged thatout of the woods.GROSS!!

they look yummy! heck, cut one off and marinate it, i'll soften up and be all tasty by the next day[8D][&:]

Thats CRAZINESS!
