Back in June, I got a few photos of this deer:

As you can see, he had quite a "growth" below the family jewels. A biologist in the Athens DNR office identified it as a hydrocyst. He said it happens when a deer receives a wound, usually in that region or the brisket, and a sack of fluid builds up and doesn't drain. He said it's harmless to the deer and doesn't affect the meat. I had not seen Arnold (you know, Kindergarten Cop, "It's naat a tumah") since this date, June 4. I had honestly given him up for dead because I lose a lot of deer on the highway. Then, tonight, I get these photos:

Not great photos, but you can see the deer in the back there has a large frame and I can see the huge sack when I blow up the photo. It is clearly visible in between his legs in Photo #2, but unfortunately you can only see a few tines. :(
