I shot a buck out at Charlestown State Park. When I was dressing it out i noticed black spots all over its lungs. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I told them about it htere and showed them a piece of it but they did not know what it was.

I am not a vet but I think it could be some type of lung disease but for animals. It could be a parasite, or maybe something like TB in humans. I will check with a vet and get back to you.

Who knows. I do know that there are still clean up projects (environmental) ongoing in the powder plant, and that fence is nothing for deer to go over or under just about anywhere they please. It could be a litany of things. I wouldn't eat it.

I gave it to one of the ladies working there that day. She said she was looking for some deer meat and we had three to give her. I was afraid something may be wrong with all of them.

Could be deer Tuberculosis. I'd contact the C.O. in your county and ask him.

Could be deer Tuberculosis. I'd contact the C.O. in your county and ask him. Its not TB, TB is white and the spots can be found on both the lungs and on the ribcage. I will post some pics when I get a chance if anyone is interested. |

It could depend on shot placement. If you hit a deer in the neck or esophagus it could cause blood to clot in the lungs just prior to death. This blood in the lungs could show up as spots. When I gun hunted I would notice it every now and then, and it always seemed to work out to be a shot to the upper lungs/esophagus area. I think there is a positive correlation of the two, but I am not a vet.

It was shot in the shoulder at about 15 yards. I thought it could have been caused by the shot but I was not sure.

many times when the shoulder is hit and bone shatters into the lungs it will cause dark spots to form where the fragments entered the lungs and cause hemmoraging. You prabably should have baged the lungs and had the DNR look at them.
