henry d Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 It can also be a sign of a barren and usually very old doe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Personally, whenever I have suspicions over an animal or its been gut shot etc I just keep it for myself. Not got my DSC notes at hand but I do not think there would be a problem putting that animal into the food chain as it is not an abcess and all other indications were that it was 100% healthy. If I'm wrong then I expect to be quickly put right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanhutchison Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 looks like a very swollen lymph node? they should be grey/pink and not pussy/gritty when cut. So imo its looks ok :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
