Dr.Grant, what causes a bucks testicles to be the size of a soccer ball???

Andrew,

The buck must have been injured.  Even an injury in the abdomen can result in a buck’s scrotum swelling due to blood pooling at the lowest point.  You’ll know this was the case if his scrotum was very dark due to be filled with blood.

Enjoy creation,
