I have some recent pictures of a buck that has gotten an unusual growth or something on his face and neck area. Just wandering if you can help identify what it is. Thanks

 

Sean,

That does appear to be a very unusual growth.  I can’t see this growth clear enough to diagnose the cause.  Most such growths are Fibromas.

Enjoy creation,
