WTH is that? Advice please.

Pulled my card last night after helping my buddy track his first buck. Noticed this picture. What do you guys think that growth is? Should there be cause for concern in the herd? We are the only ones hunting this piece of property and we have both killed our bucks. Should we be concerned enough to let someone hunt with this particular buck as a target?

some sort of a tumor would be my guess
deer are known to get them all over

Yea what he said or bad hernia. Maybe he was hit low and an abcess has formed.
