do both deer have that sticky fat on them. how do you avoid it?

I'm not sure what you mean by sticky fat but venison is not marbled with fat like beef so it is very lean and very good and healthy, deer store most of the fat in the rump around the hind 1/4s and it turns hard and white when the carcase cools cant really avoid it but it is easy to hack off when  cooled down

Yes, but don't say on stand very long. You need to move around a lot and use the rain to your advantage (masks your odor and sounds). Most likely the only deer you're going to get is the one you walk up on while it's bedding down. I'd recommend you use a shotgun with one slug backed up my as many OOO buckshots as your tube will hold because it'll probably be a running shot unless you're very very sneaky. Look for them in heavy cover (dense pine branches that hang low) probably on the high ground.

If you eat enough of anything it will make you fat...doesn't matter whether it is 3000 (or whatever amount of) calories of apples or venison. But as a source of protein, any game meat including venison, is a high quality option. So if you like the taste...go for it...just don't overdue. Moderation in all things is the way to go.

Muscle is heavier than fat.

The pampas deer is a small, reddish-brown deer from the plains of Argentina and Brazil. They have a strong scent that is released from sacs in the hind feet.  Head and body length is 43 - 55 inches, shoulder height is 27 - 29 inches.   Weight is 66 to 88 pounds.\n\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Ozotoceros_bezoarticus.html

Whales are perfectly suited to their environment. Their blubber--what you are dismissing as fat--provides insulation from the very cold temperatures of deep water and holds energy reserves should hunting be scant. It is not excess weight, it is an evolved design to cope with their environment. Do orcas really look chubby to you?

Deer usually satisfy most of their moisture requirements with the browse they eat.  Green plants have a high moisture content.  In hot weather or more arid parts of their range, they will need to drink, usually just once a day.

use a saddle oil or tree oil. This will help perserve it. Lee

Actually, deer do not always travel with the wind in their face.  They (esp. whitetails) do use the same trails to and from their feeding and sleeping areas.  This is why scouting is very important for the bowhunter.  You need to determine which trail they will use for the time you are going to be on your stand.  Set up off of the trail with the wind in your face.  This way the deer cannot smell you.  If the wind changes, do not hunt this stand as it will only educate the deer and make them harder to get.  You will not fool a deer's nose.  Even with the scent reducing clothing, you still need to watch the wind.\n\n   Think of it this way:  A deer has three primary means of defense:  smell, sight and sound.  It usually takes alerting two of the three to trigger a "get the heck out of here" response.  If a deer sees you but does not smell or hear you, they will try to figure out what you are.  Same with if they hear you but don't smell or see you.  The exception is the nose.  If they smell you, they are gone!  Keep the wind in your face and set up down wind of the trail and you're 1/3 of the way to eating venison.  Good luck.

I don't personally do this but the old spot light and shooting out of the truck window kills it's fair share of deer around here every year.  DNR has a robot deer they use to try to catch them with.  It makes me laugh every time someone goes to jail for shooting it again.

Supposedly, the urine hunters put out, are from does in estrus/rut. \nSeems the bucks go wild, and come a runnin' \nIt must be something fantastic to them, but it sure stinks to me! Blah!\nWe used apple piles, and did some rubbing on the trees with them. It worked.

I have the same "problem". It is just the way your body fat is distributed around your abdomen area. Not a big deal, unless it is painful. :o)

we have em in PA. I saw my first one the other day. it was an old dude in a beat-up pick-up truck. he was picking up deer carcases. he was wearing short sleaves and not rubber gloves. one of the hoofs was sticking out over the side and he was pokeing it back in with an old crutch. very cucky!

DON'T FEED DEER ....it's unnatural and facillitates the spread of disease.\n\nIf you want to improve their diet plant a field to clover or alfalfa and let them consume it through natural feeding.

Deer, a lot of good meat.  Some day I would like to take a buffalo, a ton of good meat, but I want to have enough money to mount the head and make a robe out of the hide
