Looks like he could use some "Compound W". There used to be this old fellow in our community who claimed he could "talk" warts off. No kidding. He would look at your wart, start talking jibberish and the warts would disappear in a few days. He'd have his work cut out for him with this one.
I saw a buck last year in New York Bow season that had these same growths. It was no where near as bad.. only five or six. I first thought they were burdocks.
If this guy could be caught and take of some of the warts, cut them up and feed them to her then she would creat antibodies to fight the warts. We do it with calves. Usually disappears by the time they are a year old so this one looks older and may have a different type of wart. Should not be contagious.
it's like cancer but with a cruel twist, it will spread to the entire herd if not destroyed as the meat is inedible. my grandfather warned me about this and to keep a watch for it as this disease WILL kill every other deer this one came in contact with
the first buck i ever harvested had one of these in the middle of his left rib cage when i capped him oout there wasnt anything in the inteereor to show any sorta infection....now on the other hand i took a large doe at just over 300yrds on the last day of the extended season we had watched her for ruffly 2hrs thanking maybe a few more might come out ...they never did so at last lite i layed her over...like i said we watched her for 2hrs maybe a little longer she never limped or shown any sighns of trouble ..that is tell i skinned her out..her left quarter had what looked as a vein the width of my wrist running through it full of puss ..it ran from the buttox to the knee so we oppted to leeve it for the coyotes...but other then that i just thought it was weird
I realize this is an old post. But I have seen something like this before. It could a tick infestation. When the ticks burrow in and remain on the deer, their flesh starts to grow over it. It often becomes infected as well. But that's why you see it mainly on the lower part and underside of head and lower parts of body. This is the areas that are most likely going to get attacked by ticks. Best thing to do would be to put it out of its misery at this point.

If it's warts I wonder if it's temporary.chuckles norris
