Weird Growth on Deer

[alabama deer hunting fool]

I hunt in alabama and for the past few years I have seen some gray growths on several deer.. They kinda look like warts. Anyone else ever seen anything like that? anyone know what causes it? And is it safe to eat a deer that has this?

You know what I just seen that on The Outdoor Channel. The show with Stan Potts, I can't think of the name. But it was a segment called "candid whitetails" where they show photos and videos of deer from hunters across the country. This one came from a guys trail-cam and it showed a doe with a whole bunch of bubble type blisters or clusters all over the hide. But whatever it was they claimed that the stuff caused no health concerns to the deer or humans. I'll send you a PM when I recall it or find it online.
