What are those maggot looking bugs that are found in a deers head and throat? I have found them a lot in deer killed in Mexico and S. Texas, and I noticed a few in a deer I killed last weekend in the Hill country. Are they found elswhere? Or are they just a S. Texas, Northern Mexico thing? | ||

I've never experienced anything like you describe, and I've hunted Texas -- my home state -- for quite a few years now. Any photos??? Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Bot Fly larvae. Watched a Taxidermist cape my Kansas deer off the skull. Out popped a 1" maggot. He said they are commonly found in the nasal passages. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Not sure if it is exactly the same but we get something similar here in Pa. on the rabbits. It is a maggot that might be as big as your thumb. They are under the skin with a breathing hole through the skin. They are as others have said, botflies. | |||

I shot a pretty big and healthy blacktail this year.... He had tons of ticks in his "armpit" and scrotal areas.. plus had the exact same things you were speaking about.... according to a biologist, he said that he wouldn't worry about it...just a parasite...

Thanks guys. "Nasal Bots" it is ( or they are ). With as many good folks as there are here you can always find someone that is in the know!! I most always find the NASTY damn things when cleaning the skulls for Euro. mounting. Seems like they occur most everywhere to. The old S.TX. guys always told me not to worry about them and I never did, but I always wanted to know what the dern things were, now I do. Thanks again. | |||

I killed a deer a several years back in Southern NM that had those ugly things. I was almost afraid to eat the meat until a game warden assured me that the bot flies don't hurt the meat. ______________________ I'm not a great hunter...just a guy who loves to hunt. | |||
