I think it just happens like in humans.I had a bottle fed buck get a wart high on his hip that I thought that could have been from a dart.That was just my thought. I would tie dentil floss around it real tight about every 3 days.It grew to about 3 inches.It took about a month to strangle the blood supply and it finally fell off.
I think they are caused by biting insects or soil conditions in combination with a break in the skin that give the virus to the deer. I know they can spread from deer to deer. They should eventually go away on their own and not return. Maybe someone else can shed some more light on your question.

I know some deerfarmers who simply run them thru the chute and remove them and have had pretty good succsess doing it.
Good luck some of the warts i have seen them treat can be pretty nasty to look at.

scott I did do it a little backwards after I posted it I looked it up and read the same thing on the site you recomended, thankyou everybody for your reply
My first breeder buck had a wart between his eyes on his forehead. It started as a pea and grew to a marble. Just when I started getting worried, it shrank and disappeared. Hope this is the case for you, too.
