Deer pics, what in the world is this growing on the deer!?!?

We thought we saw this guy last year and noted something looked off, but the picture wasn't that clear. Now we got a really good one and are really scratching our heads on this one. What in the heck is this growing on him? It looks like some kind of organ growing on the outside of his body. Nuts!!!!

I'm no expert, but my guess would be a tumor of some sort...a REALLY MASSIVE tumor. Doesn't look healthy, that's for sure.

Looks like it could be an infected wound from a previous shot or a tumor. I'd recommend taking this deer if you see it during season to prevent disease from spreading to the rest of your herd.

I've seen something like that on some deer around here but not as big. Someone told me it's some kind of wart? Don't know.
