Has anyone ever had something like this happen ?

Deer was growing fine, then Fri. May 10th he had a small

spot broken on velvet, within 2 days his beam swelled up and had split.

He did not bleed outside of velvet. Cause is unknown but appears metal tag

rubbed this area, might have bumped beam

keep a eye on it could get infected may have to lance and clean or cut off and burn .would not hurt to give some antibotics
 
I always put my metal tags on the bottom of the ear on bucks for that exact reason.
 
Picture has a bad glare, but this is what he looks like now

It`s possible the beam is dead and just full of blood . He must have ran into something or another deer swatted him on that beam. If it is broken it should be removed.

I had one bump his beam and I stitched it and it split.....would probably do the same with any injury. Jim
