I know what this is.Do you?Its a back quarter ready for cleaning.It you look real close to the center of the pic,you can see a round-like grey spot/lump.Thats a gland,a lymph node I think,its called.There are several in a deer.I've heard of folks that threw deer away because they found these spots.Every deer has them.Not many folks really look at them.I don't want it in my sausage. grin.gifcool.gif071570.JPG071594.JPG

Re: What is this?.......pic......

I cant really see the picture real good but if the gland or lymph node was on the inside of the hind corner or groin then It probably is a lymph node as there are several that run down both sides of the groin. Enlarged lymph nodes indicate infection or maybe lymphoma a cancer. Either way if the Deer looked healthy I would not think twice about eating the meat. Cut around the glands. Enlarged lymph nodes are not enough to say the whole deer is bad. Too many things could cause it. Hope this helps.
