What Is That???

Can anyone tell me what that is between the two front legs of this young boy.

I believe it's some kind of Cyst that is not life threating.  I remember reading about a doe I think once that had one twice that size or larger and the magazine showed pictures of it.  Once the Cyst burst the deer was able to heal without any major problems.

69Viking is right, it is a type of "soft" growth fairly common in deer and will probably rupture on its own at some point.  If I remember right, this type of growth kills very few deer.
 
Good shooting.

So I should just let him walk? I was planing on putting him down.
