    I would like to know what your opinions are on this. Do you think this is an abnormal growth on its chest? I passed on this deer last year 3 times, he was barely ear wide.
    The second picture I didnt notice at first but now that I have a side profile, I think it is noticable.

    "it's not a tu mahhh" the govenator


    on a serious note to be honest, the only way to tell for sure 100% would be to take it down and check it up close.

    He'll be fine, deer have all kinds of skin stuff going on this time of year. Got this guy on cam a couple times last season:

    That pic I have no doubt that it is an abnormal growth, but I have other trailcam pics of bigger deer with a similar "bump".
