Anyone ever kill a whitetail that obviously had more fat than the other deer in the same area? Harvested one this fall that had an tremendous amount of fat compared to the others I've taken the same area.
This one did not have any difference in hair that I could tell but like yours, the cavity had fat all over it. As soon as it was opened up you could see it.Yes in Wyoming back in the day. One deer had fat all over (inside the cavity too) and very long hair. The old timer in the group stated we are in for a long winter. The other deer basically had no fat nor long hair. The winter was a normal Wy winter, cold, windy and plenty of snow. Both ate good.
Grape fed deer? Break out some wine for pairing!Neighbor killed a blacktail buck several years back on a small private parcel in the middle of vineyards, orchards, and across the road from some closed state land. The deer don’t move around too much and there’s little to no hunting pressure. Most around here bucks are pretty small/lean in August, but this one had fat like a steer. Best tasting venison I’ve had. Just depends on food source and activity.
