What do you think this growth is on the buck?

Took this video earlier this summer of the buck. If you look just below the left eye ... he a golf ball size growth or inflammatory response. Has anyone seen this before? What do you think caused it?

I've seen it before a couple of times too. I always thought it was a tick that was embedded that the deer could not remove. I've seen a similar deal on a dog one time, and it was a tick. With deer, it is always on a spot on their face that they cannot get the tick out. I'm not sure if that is exactly what it is, but I've never seen a deer with that outside of summer months, so I just figured it was at least insect related. 2 years ago I watched a buck all summer that had one just like that. I saw him in late October while hunting, and it was completely gone.

could also be an injury from sparing last year. I have heard of pieces of antler breaking off in another deer they are fighting. I see his right side is smaller than his left, leaves me to believe he has had it for a while. I have noticed deer with left side injuries have deformations in their right antler and vice versa.

One too many brews, talking to the wrong doe and a bigger buck smacked him.

Not sure what it is . Have seen some weird growths over the years like this one. Even the rabbit was grossed out by this. LOL

maybe it's an infected injury...like a puss-ball or something? probably a tumor though....One time I shot an 11 pointer with the gun and he had a huge egg on his head from where he took a tine to the scalp during a fight. I sawed the rack off through the goose egg and it pussed everywhere
