Would You Eat It?

slamdunk · Oct 27, 2020

This is a Wasatch West Buck taken last week near Alpine.
Would you eat it?
I don't think I would take the chance.

tailchasers · Oct 27, 2020

No. Be interesting what you'd find field dressing that buck. That buck could not have been feeling the best.

Houndsman77 · Oct 27, 2020

I seen a doe like that once what is it?

grizzly · Oct 27, 2020

My friend shot a barbary that looked like that. I don't think he ate it either.

Homer · Oct 27, 2020

jester · Oct 28, 2020

I've seen deer with grows like that. F&G officer told me it was a type of wart or cyst, can't remember exactly what he said. Said they should be fine to eat but I would be real skeptical. What did it look like skinned out?

buckspotter7 · Oct 28, 2020

No, not much chance of me eating that. My first question is, would you shoot it?

fullthrottle · Oct 28, 2020

Shoot it to take it out of its misery

Exactly.
Poor thing couldn't even see.

buckspotter7 · Oct 28, 2020

Very sad condition, kudos to the guy who used his tag. The coyotes and lions didn’t want to eat it either, I guess.

SS! · Oct 28, 2020

Amazing a coyote didn’t get it. Those super predators really hammer the deer.

CFMuley · Oct 28, 2020

I’m sure the meat would be just fine, but I’d have a tough time eating it. I don’t get grossed out by much, but that does it.

EVILNR · Oct 28, 2020

Huitlacoche

SALTYDOG · Oct 28, 2020

Hell yeah! A deer that comes with its own gravy packets.
Grab some biscuits and lets get poppin and soppin!!!! MMM MMM!

Zeke · Oct 28, 2020

NO, I would not eat that and, chances are, I wouldn't even touch it,

Zeke

SS! · Oct 28, 2020

I’d drop that off with @Tristate to mount.

elkassassin · Oct 28, 2020

I Think I Would!

Bluehair · Oct 29, 2020

So, does anyone know what those growths are? I had a deer around here last summer with something similar going on. Only time I have ever seen it. I'll see if I can dig up a pic.

hawkbill · Oct 29, 2020

It’s a skin infection, there is no damage to the meat. Like Jester said you all have had something in your mouth similar the lights were turned off

elkassassin · Oct 29, 2020

That's Not True hawk!

If You Knew SMACKDADDY You would not of said that!

Elitist.

Bluehair · Oct 29, 2020

I'm not eating it.

Hawkeye · Oct 29, 2020

That is nasty. I would report it to the DWR but I would not eat it.

BradA · Oct 29, 2020

I would feel horrible about wasting meat but I wouldn’t eat it or let anyone eat it. Give it to the coyotes.

nasty? I think you meant to type "tasty" lol.

npaden · Oct 29, 2020

I shot a buck like that in Montana in 2007 and I took it up to the F&G office and they said is was some type of warts and that it was okay to eat. I ate it and think I turned out fine.

Wish I had taken better pictures of it.

This was before I learned how to take good field photos.

What's that lump on the side of your head from?? j/k

kilbuc · Oct 29, 2020

Pappaloma(probably misspelled) not uncommon but uncommon to have so many and so big. Not harmful to eat, but tough to get past.

bonepicker · Oct 29, 2020

I would not eat it, naaasty!

Wapitiwilly · Oct 30, 2020

I would be a vegetarian before eating that critter. G&F has to give you another tag. Maybe drop it off on there front door if they balk??

Katoom · Oct 31, 2020

Look up deer fibroma. Many states F&W dept have website pages detailing it, as it is pretty common.

NVPete · Oct 31, 2020

Awful to see... this is probably an extreme case of fibromas (skin tumors). Not sure if they are benign or cancerous or malignant. I don't think the rest of the anatomy (like meat, fat muscle tissue, blood) is affected by them.

BeDawg · Nov 1, 2020

I would and I have. A lot of bucks have them. They are a type of cervid wart. It doesn’t affect humans

hossblur · Nov 2, 2020

Reminds me of the chapter in micro about genital warts. Of course the professor had the mist extreme examples.

No I couldn't eat it. Applicable in both circumstances?
