On the internal organs of my buck.

[Reckless Cheri]

I'm not sure which organ this is, the pancreas maybe? I hadn't seen spots like this before that I can recall and wondered what caused it. I read an article in the November TTHA magazine about diseases in deer and things to look for on the organs, but I can't find it now to reread to see if this was listed. He is a six and a half year old deer so age maybe? Anyone seen this before or know what might have caused it?

Razor trauma maybe?

I think it is HVBP

[Reckless Cheri]

What is HVBP?

seriously I don't know.. never seen that before

That looks to be maybe blood inside the lungs from being shot!!!!!!!

It's hard to tell from the picture, but that looks too big to be a pancreas. From the color it looks like lung. From the shape and location (far as I can tell from here) it looks more like liver. If that's a liver, there was something VERY wrong with that deer.

Do you have more pictures? Is that what it looked like right when you cut it open, or did it age in the open air a little before you took the pics?

smoker, maybe :-)

[Reckless Cheri]

It isn't the lungs cause I blew up both of them and they came out as mush. It isn't the live because I cut that out. Every other organ looked normal and I believe we noticed this the next morning after the guts sat in the gut tub all night. I've never noticed anything like this before and I usually noticed the guts because I cut out the heart and liver if I can.

Cheri, that looks to be very contageous, and you need to wash very thoroughly and throw away everything associated with that deer, including the horns! I have been vacinated, so if you like, I will come and dispose of your horns for you!









I have no idea what that is.

I need a reference of size, but what ever it is it looks like pooling of blood n the other side(Draining of this side.) Lividity is what we look for when we get on scene of a person who may have been dead for a few(relative) minutes. All the blood pools to the bottom side of the skin. " next morning after the guts sat in the gut tub all night." At first site I thought it was a lung. But can't tell from size. Either way I say it lost color due to dependent lividity.

If that was the next day, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you would have noticed if it had been that way when you gutted him. After death, there's no telling what color things will change to. That's just my opinion.

Wasn't there an article recently about liver flukes in TTHA or somewhere? Can they do that kind of damage?
