I have never seen anything like this. so I thought I would share it with you guys to decide what you think. I would have to dump it and call the dnr.. i'm not touching it. the link says canceruos.. but if you read what they say in snopes you'll find out it's only warts... either way.. tag me for waste.. I aint eating it.

Had a doe on trail cam a few years ago that had what we believed was the same thing.  We didn't get any pics of her after the deer season so she might have gotten shot and wasted or just got killed by a car or wolf.

that is some nasty looking stuff.  wonder what the cause of it is. the first photo the false rumor was that it was exposed to "fracking" water from some oil mining out east.

looks like a Fibroma or "deer wart" as they are sometimes called.  Hard to say for sure but looks like the same condition.  Usually there will be more than one affected spot on the deer but not always.  Most of the time they are totally on the surface and can not even be detected after skinning the deer.
