Warts on deer ok?

[jmach]

I just noticed that this buck has multiple warts or tumors all over it. Has anyone ever seen this? I have this buck aged at 4.5 and was considering letting him go another year. Are these warts a health problem? Would you eat this deer?

Eat him, meat will be just fine...just a dermatological issue

Dip him in ketchup, he will taste yummy

After you cook the backstraps put some cream gravy on it!! Yummy! Just a skin problem.

No problem with the meat it like having moles. They are unsightly but don't affect anything.
Eat away.

I have pictures of this deer last year and can not find any warts on him. Seeing how bad it got this year, does anyone have any idea how bad it will be next year?

I definately wouldn't eat that one. At least not me knowing it was that deer. There was a steer at our local show a couple years ago that looked 30 times worse than that. It was pretty nasty
