I did not have any formal wildlife biology training in school, just fisheries biology. I showed this picture to a buddy that has had some wildlife classes and he said that it looks like an impacted lower jaw (infected). Apparently this is the result of getting food stuck in there. It looks painful to me. If the rest of the deer linked OK, it still should be good to eat.
thanks for the Info
I've seen cattle that looked really similar. They had tumurs that would fill with puss on their jaws...eventually they would pop then come back.
Google "Deer lumpy jaw". I bet this is what it is. The pictures look just like it.
Not sure but I think it's caused by something called arterial worms.
Looks to me like she needs to visit the oral surgeon and get those wisdom teeth cut out.
"Deer lumpy jaw" some nasty look stuff. My friend said he had a spike with it also on his cam now
