I’ve watched this growth since he went to hard horn out of velvet. Started as a small lump. He doesn’t seem effected but really don’t know what is causing it or what the results will be. He’s a 4 year old and I don’t want to kill him. What is y’all’s thoughts?

We had a buck with a lump like that in his neck last year. He had crap antlers to boot. The guys wanted to take it, but from what I understand these are mostly injury related and pretty common. His drained in the off-season and this year he’s a nice big bodied 8 that should make a good shooter next year.
Let him be he should be ok

It is most likely a seroma, which is a pocket that forms as a result of an injury or trauma (could be a thorn, antler tine from a fight, fence injury, etc.) and is filled with sera fluid. Basically, it is localized infection. Usually not life threatening unless a worse infection results from an eventual rupture.
