This deer js certainly not on our shooter list unless this condition is fatal or is causing him anguish. I know this kind of swelling is indicative of arterial worms. Do deer recover from this or is ita death sentence. I have read both it seems.

Is there supposed to be a pic? My understanding is that how the deer will do depends on how bad they are infected with the worms. A heavy load obviously is going to be more devastating than a light load. Makes me wonder if a medicated block like safegard might help with worms in deer that were affected. Obviously that is not an option in cwd zone.
Yeah sorry. I thought i attached it

Most 2.5-3.5 year old bucks are in much more danger from bullets and arrows. I think that deer will be just fine till hunting season
Oh hes safe where he is at. Definitely not in consideration, unless he was gonna die from the disease and we make an exception to end his suffering

I had a neighbor on florida that got a vet to give him some medicine for a wild doe with this condition and they managed to get her one a medicated bait pile. Not sure how it worked out but last I'd heard they'd gotten her to eat the medicine.

I have seen many arterial worm sufferers recover.
