Curious deer fat

[TommyGun]

those of you who process your own meat are you seeing more fat on your deer than previous years? Just wondering.

I have but I also started cotton seed this past spring. That along with good rains has them pretty fat

Heavy acorn drop this year. Puts a good layer of fat on them.

[mikeyb_23]

Yep, tons of fat around the hams

The two I've killed didn't have much fat.

Everything I've killed has been FAT inside and out.

My buck was lean. My neighbor commented on how fat the doe were that he shot.

[SwampRabbit]

No noticeable difference at our place out in the hill country.

[jshouse]

[HC Sniper]

Very fat all over on the buck I shot, but he was also the first buck I have shot in a while that was not killed in December after the rut

[Rack Ranch]

Fat here, no acorns where I hunt, just good rains this year.

[AntlerCollector]

Between me and my kids we have killed 8 deer. All have been fatter than usual.

Yes but like others have said I've been feeding protein and cottonseed more this year than any other year
