Bot fly larvaes We use to fins some on the rabbits I raised when young. Opening up a deer filled with tape worms that have ulcerated thru the intestinal walls will really make you gag. I did that once in WY with a fork horn buck. I piled rocks on that thing so nothing else could eat it.

Don't know what the *** the bumps were but you are correct: Rage broadheads are great! Quoting you.
(I've been using Rage 2 broadheads which are expensive. $45.00 for three.)
Damn things cut an entry wound open to about 5'' coming in at an angle, the deer died very quick this past Friday! The only problem is that upon exit I couldn't find my carbon arrow with the brand new broadhead, I figure $26.00 is laying in the woods somewhere.

There are also nasal bots in deer which are fly larvae under the tongue and in the nasal passages. Common in warm weather, and sometimes causes the deer to cough. Otherwise harmless.
Guess thats a good reason to hunt in November

The grubs are also commonly called warbles. We used to squeeze the bumps and the grubs will pop out. They're big things. They're harmless to the cow/deer but they sure look gross. Enough of them can ruin the hide, though. They leave lots of holes in the leather.

Wolf Worms are nasty, I wouldn't have eaten it either. The rabbits carry them here and cats get them at times. I've read where just about any animal can get them if they come in contact with the eggs. The larva/worm comes out after about a month, but sometimes leaves a nasty infection.

Too many deer in the woods to eat that one IMO
