New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

These are from today, we picked up another at the cornpile last night. Looks like a spike, button buck and the third I can't tell. The spike appears to have a hole on it's left side, I'm wondering if this isn't an out of season poaching attempt by someone. Ideas anyone?

This is a pic of all three together. If only their parents show up for a little "Parent-Bowhunter" conference......

Just looks like a Tic or a wart to me.

Seems to me if he would have gotten shot in that spot... he wouldn't still be walking around.

looks like a happy tick to me...

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

thats a big ol' happy tick! Like others have stated....dont think he would be around if it was a bullet wound.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Nice pics.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

I was wondering about a tick also because I've pulledswollen ones off dogs, but I've never seen one that big. I had 68 pics on this cam yesterday and forgot to clear it after I downloaded them, so I went out today to clear it and there were 186. I made sure to clear it this time. I also plan on increasing the size of the cornpile later today to see if it draws more in, then staying out until next Saturday when bow season opens. Hopefully we get some bigger bucks and does showing up.

Good luck.

fat tick

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

If that is in fact a tick it is the largest one I've ever seen. And perfectly round

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

This is from a different angle.....

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Possibly a puncture from barbed wire?

In a few years looks like a good aiming spot for a quartering away shot to me!!!:)

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

And how!


Mooooooooooooooooooole.........................


Moley Moley Moley!

there is a deer farm near my place where i work at and lots of the deer have those they are warts...that is what it looks like to me.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

I would agree on the Monster Tick side of the house. Nice to see you got some deer on your corn pile though.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Nope, not a poaching attempt.

It looks like the wartz my dad found on a doe he shot a few years ago.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Wart or possibly a worble.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

you beat me to it

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Yep. It's a non-typical, too. Look at them drop-tines.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

He was quite tasty....just so you know.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

definetly a tick

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

I'm pretty sure it's not a tick, I have pictures of a few different deer and another one that I shot and it's some kind of growth or tumor or something like that, but probably not a tick

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

ive got the same exact thing on a couple of my deer this one has one on the other side up a little higher that a got on a film game cam.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

I didn't even think to check out what it was after I got him. I was too occupied to look at it because it was my first deer and I'd killed him with a bow. I looked at it once and it appeared to be some kind of fluid filled tumor type thing. Didn't affect the meat, didn't bother me. If there'd been a large amount all over him I might have changed my mind.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

Tick:D

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

dont ticks usualy get tan color when they get big and that seems alittle big to be a tick

could be a shot that did not hit anything but flesh

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

one of the biggest ticks i've ever seen

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

It wasn't a tick, it was a little bigger than a dime. Like I said, I didn't investigate it, I only got a quick look at it when I was moving him from the four wheeler to the truck bed. It wasn't a tick though.

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

that tick is having a feast!!!

RE: New cam pics...poaching attempt?
 

if it was a shot he would be dead because that is good placement
