Were cutting up the deer I shot today. Ran across this on the front guarter. It's inbeded in the fat and we've never seen this before. Anyone know what it is?

I cut them out and don't eat. Maybe safe, but not appetizing.

I'm not sure what that is, but I know I wouldn't eat it!

I hit something like that deboning my brother's fronts. Some yellow snot looking mustard good came out. Cut around all of it and pitched it. Probably shoulda rubbed it on my boots.

There are lymph nodes in many places. Most noticeable to a hunter / butcher are in the fat in front of the shoulders, in the back of the rear leg, and in the fat just ahead of the front leg.
There are some around the ‘voice box’.
It is best not to eat them, especially in cwd areas.
