My first encounter with botfly larva was watching them crawl out of the nose of a deer I had just killed. Yes, it's nasty.

Every year come hunting season I always thought the pain in my butt was due to my wife eating on my azz about going.
Now I'm leaning more towards the bot fly.  X2 I almost choked to keep from spraying my monitor with coffee.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

I'm sure the meat is fine, but I don't think I could keep it. That link has some nasty pics.

If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

and how do these people have them coming out of their skin!!!!..wtf.... Same as animals... They ingest the eggs somehow, they hatch, and the larvae starts it's journey to the outside world in as straight of line as possible from wherever it is....

Damn those google pics are pretty intense. That poor squirrel was drilled a lot. I'm usually worried about ticks, hate to have one of those botfly larvae bore into my brain. Bet Andrew Zimmern from bizarre foods would pop that pupa in his pie hole

That's a throat bot. We see em in junction. Often in the deers throat. If you've ever heard a deer cough it was likely bc of a bot

What size was it? Nose bot grubs are usually pretty small. I've seen them in deer and domestic sheep and goats. Cattle grubs get up to an inch or 2 long. Cuterebra spp bot fly larva are usually about half the size of cattle grubs, but I've seen some larger. Anyway the deer is probably an aberrant (not the usual) host of the bot fly grub you found. With aberrant hosts you often find the grub in a unusual places. Cut the meat out around the tract, the rest of the ham should be fine.
I've seen cuterebra in rabbits I've shot. I've also removed them from domestic rabbits and cats.

I can almost bet my life savings it didn't come out of the ham. Nearly every deer I've ever euro mounted has them in the nasal cavity. It did't come from the ham, take it to the bank.
