First off, great job buddy! That was one of the best threads I have read in some time. Keeping after it in the late season and enduring the cold like that with a buck on the ground is just top shelf    :thumbsup:  

As for the worms, they are a part of the round worm cycle. It happens in alot of animals including humans. The worms are ingested in food/dirt etc, then migrate from the blood as eggs then moved to the lung/trachea. The worms go by several names (Gape worm, syngamiasis, gapes) but are just a parasite. I killed a mature whitetail buck several years back and his trachea/lung was loaded with them. He just needed to be wormed   :)   I obliged him with a heavy arrow wormer much like you did!

Great shooting and congrats on the grey ghost of the mountains     :campfire:

Could have roasted those worms and used them as bacon bits on those taters! haha  
What a great way to start the year.

Congrats Joe. As much time as you're spending out West, you must qualify as a resident in at least ONE of them! How'd the Mayor and Jeff do on their hunt?

Joe,

Those are Nasal Bot fly larvae, pretty common just most people don't see them until the body cools considerably or skull cleaning. No health concer tp deer or humans but they give me the willies.

Good job Sean

Joe,

Awesome story and a great deer!  I wonder how many animals have parasites like these and we never know!

Was that one of the bows you got at Compton?

Man what a great adventure!!  Congratulations on a beautiful buck!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
