Jaw Growth

[E_308]

Weird looking growth, thoughts? I left the cam set up hopefully he sticks around and I get a better pic.

Google arterial worms for deer, or lumpjaw in deer. Might be what you are seeing.

Those lump jaw pictures look pretty close. Probably not going to make it back up to the farm until middle of June, hopefully I have some better pics of him. Should be an easy one to keep track of!

looks like fibramatosis to me. Typically, more than one lesion/growth is observed, but that would be my opinion.

Well Lumpy (the first deer I have ever named) is still alive. Not getting any prettier! He does like to get his picture taken. His rack looks like it could get interesting.

Still kicking.

Condition wise he looks fine from the neck down. Would you have any issue eating this one?

Got the velvet off.

The only way that I wouldn't eat the deer, is if the infection was in his body(puss and smell). It looks like it is contained in just his chin.
