The growths on these deer are cutaneous fibromas and are caused by a papilloma virus. Cutaneous fibromas are hairless tumors that can be found on any part of the skin, however they rarely extend below the hide. Fibromas are also called warts, tumors, papillomas and fibrosarcomas, and they occur everywhere deer live.

Quoted from another site when I search for deer with tumors.  Look the same.

It gives you a pretty good point of aim for an arrow with a quartering away deer, but I am not sure that I would want to eat that one.   Since gathering food is my primary reason for hunting, I would probably give him a pass, unless it was near the end of the season and I still had my buck tag.   I would just trim around the warts and eat the rest in that case.

This guy is typical of our local bucks 1-1.5 yr olds... neighbors don't believe in letting them grow..

Luckily we always have a good doe pop which is all I care about for the freezer.
