This may be "normal", but I have cut the antlers off many a deer's head, some cut from behind the antlers all the way to the tip of the nose for an exposed skull mounting, and I have never seen anything like these wormscrawling around inside a deer's skull. How could a deersurvive with worms eating up their brains??

I have seen videos of bot fly larva that get into people and they can get to be 1-2 inches long. It's pretty gross. They only feed on flesh, so I don't think they are eating the brains of the deer. It's wierd to think that we are food for something smaller than us. Yuk![:'(]

These maggots are not in the brain, they live in the nasal passage, right near the throat. Cut a deers head off at the first vertabrae and you will find them living right there. I do a lot of euro mounts and find them in 99% of the deer. I dont know if its more common down here in the south or not.
Pretty freaky, I also learned of this years ago hunting a WMA, and the biologist also cut the head off to get the brain stem out for testing, he showed us these maggots as well.They fall out eventually and become a fly.
