Doubt it. Pigeon fever is a disease of horses, also known as dryland distemper or equine distemper, caused by the Gram-positive bacteria Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis biovar equi. Infected horses commonly have swelling in the chest area, making it look similar to a 'pigeon chest'. This...

As a Large Animal veterinarian, I suggest you just get rid of the meat and call it good.

Delete this please.

One ages deer by their teeth. Out west he's a dink. Maybe next year or two he'll be a 4pt. or an 8pt eastern count.
