I got a few trail cam pics of this buck with what seems to be a huge growth on or between his back legs. Not sure if it's his testicles or not. Reminds me of a song. "Do your b***s hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Reminds me of the latest thread about the 100 incher vs the 200 incher.....John you have to put him down, even if he is standing next to the world record buck! Could you IMAGINE field dressing that buck?....gulp.
Looks to me like he struck out on love last November.:p In all honesty I'm not really sure. I had a buck last year that I passed on and had several trail cam pics of that had a large growth on his brisket. He was a nice 2.5 year old buck who I simply called "The Growth Buck". I haven't seen him this year yet, so no update on what he's like now.
This made a booger fly right out of my nose! It could be a hernia, but from the swelling it could be an infection of some sort as well. It looks nasty whatever it is.
Send this to the local DNR, maybe they'll let you hunt him now to put him out of his misery and still let you keep your buck tag for the season.
