What are these? Is the meat safe to eat?

That was my first thought. I have never seen them white in color though.

Eat that and you might have some of those big ugly lumps sprouting out of your forehead.

I wouldn't eat it.

There are many deer out there shoot another . Leave it for the coyotes. They were already suppose to have eaten those weak and sick deer.

With enough onions it might be ok some would say

Take it to your local butcher shop and let them take a look at it then go with what ever they suggest or at least that's how it's suggested it work here in Montana. Then if the butcher not fit for human consumption have them write a statement then go to your DNR folks and get another deer tag.

I shot one this season with a big wart on his neck. That one looks pretty gnarly though. Mine looked like a normal fibromatosis wart and was only skin deep. The one you have would concern me cause it looks pretty festered up.

too dang many of em running round here for me to eat one that looks like that

The article says its safe to eat but I would consider it dog food.

If it looks good, EAT IT! Nothing wrong with the meat.
