i was chopping up my buck and found a tumor in his shoulder about the size of a tennis ball.do you think it is anything i should worry about?

Soilarch

You won't get cancer from it, and it may only be scar tissue.


Cut it out, see if it's got "fingers" and get the bulk them out.

If it really weirds you out through that quarter away but the rest of the deer is certainly good.

it didn't have any fingers out into the meat it was just a round ball kinda like a sist.

I would see that on squirrels once in a while,pea to marble size.I'd take Soilarch's advise.

you should cut the ball open. You might find a nice single bevel broadhead in there.    :D

I found something like that in one i processed a few years ago.  When I cut it open there was part of what looked like a .22 fragment in there.  Some peckernut shot that deer illegally (because it was a .22 slug) and probably out of season before me.

Shot an elk one year.  Cooked a roast and bit into a .22 shell.

hit or miss

I've seen lots of birdshot in deer through the years.  Usually right under the skin and anytime after opening weekend of pheasant season.

I served a fresh, suburban bow-killed whitetail roast to a Japanese friend one evening.  He was very honored and impressed by the fact that we were eating wild game taken with archery equipment by me, the great white hunter.  As we ate and visited, I glanced across the table to see him wince a little, then reach into his mouth.  Out the fingers came with something in them.  His grin turned into a big, happy smile as he exclaimed "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dave".  Apparently, he thought the .77cal pellet (kids down the street from place of harvest) was somehow related to my harvesting of the deer, and further, that it was good luck to be the one at the table to have "received" it.  We all laughed long and hard about that one.

A man's worth can be determined by the number of friends at his funeral- unless they all hunt too!!

thanks for all the info i didn't cut it open but i assume that he was injured in that shoulder at one time or another.
