    A tumor wouldn't be?.....lol

    I zoomed in, too. The res. is not great (zoomed), but I'm just saying what it looks like (to me).

    Honestly, it looks like a snail shell, zoomed in.

    I'll be darned. I've never seen or heard anything like that. That's what I like about this place. Always, learn something new everyday.

    Im not sure if I would be able to shoot a deer that came along looking like that. Im all about making sure I harvest every available piece of meat and although they say that it doesnt affect the meat, I just dont think I could do it.
