Doe with a large tumour
This young doe was on the edge of my forest today. She wasn't walking very quickly and was only able to bound away for about 5 seconds before having to walk again.

Hi TAC, how ya doing. Say, I'm very interested in what and how that doe got that tumor. I've got a doe with the exact same tumor and the exact same size, on my property. I saw her last year, just 200 hundred yards from my trailer. When she ran away, she looked like a Holstein cow with its udder swaying back and forth, except at the oppsite end. Her whole front half of her body swayed with the tumor. Maaannnnnnn, I felt sorry for her, and likely so did the coyotes, can't believe they haven't attacked her yet.
Phoned the Game Wardens and asked if I could put her out of her misery, they said only if I tag her, " ya right", they weren't to concerned about it.
If you find out why these freaks of nature happen, let me know, wouldja ?
Also about 3 to 4 years ago, I saw another doe with the same growth, but only alot smaller, I would think its the same deer.

It's nice to see a post from you now and then...
Wow, that is one mother load of a tumour...
It would obviously slow her down quite a bit, not to mention that the doe is probably getting rejected from the other deer because of her abnormalities. Animals with abnormalities are often rejected from the others.
P.S. You mean to tell us that you haven't harvested that monster yet...
Good Luck on putting your tag on that big bad boy!... ( looking forward to them pics! )

Thanks guys.
I was sent some info regarding the pics and it appears that this doe possibly has a hydrocyst. The link below explains what that is and says that the meat is still safe to eat. I nonetheless suspect that if I had a doe tag I would be passing on this deer. The thought of eating meat that came from a puss-filled deer just doesn't appeal to me that much!

And no, I've not got the big buck yet. In fact, I've yet to see a buck while hunting! I was busted last night by a monster doe and her fawns. The doe is huge and I have seen her many times this fall. She seems to have a snorting fetish. Last night she only snorted at me about a dozen times but a few weeks ago she did over 40 times before I lost count as she ran away!
I'm beginning to think I have mutant deer around here....
