VermontHunter Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) I just retrieved these pics from one of my trail cams .. Anyone have a guess as to what these growths may be on this buck ??? One is on the neck and a larger one on the chest ... And just for fun, how old do you think he is ?? I happen to know for sure, and some may be suprised ... Edited July 17, 2011 by VermontHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 not sure on the growths but I'd say he's 4.5 years old. Take his rack out and that body looks pretty old to me. Very long nose, big forehead, you can see the sway from his shoulders to his hips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 They're just deer warts Luke...no big deal. Doesn't harm the deer. I've gotten pics of a few here before. Here's a little info about them. MDWFP Deer Program He looks like he's 4.5 or maybe even 5.5 to me. Not sure why his head gear is so poor for his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Think 4 to 5 is a pretty good guess. Al has it right, have seen deer here with warts a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks for the info on the Deer warts ,,,, and as for the age of this deer, I've been watching him since he was a fawn, but this is the first time he's every venture near one of my cameras. He's 5 years old, and really showing his age now, funny thing about his head gear he's never been more than a 4 point all his life ...

Tom2008 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 A big fat tick. More than likely warts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
